Where do old boats go...





to rest, here in ganges there are 4 or 5 depending on what you classify as old, next to us is the Breeze, she is 110 feet long and was an ocean tug, it has been converted to a charter boat and took sightseers up the coast and fishermen to the small nooks and crannies along the coast, 
further out is a old wooden tuna fish boat measuring around 110+feet long, now a home. and of course there is our boat the Atrevida, built in 1928 coast ferry,  so many boats with stories to tell it is worth the trip down here into ganges just to see them, living history all around, all showing the care that their owners are giving them, all in different states of refurbishment.
 down deep in the bay is the old navy yard tug called the Sea horse, the owners are busy painting and scraping away on her,
A trip to ganges is like going to a museum.... lots and lots to discover
stay safe out there today boaters...
