Boats

I love taking pictures of boats and living near the shore made me appreciate them. Nonetheless, I know almost nothing about them!

So, for all you boat lovers XD her's a tip for you: http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/
It's a great site, it has an amazing live tracking feature of almost all marine traffic.
You can click on the boats to see what's their route, type, nationality and all kinds of specs, you can even upload pictures of that specific boat you clicked on.
You should also check out the gallery, since it has some awesome pictures!

There's also a site for plains: http://www.flightradar24.com/
But I don't like taking pictures of commercial jet planes, they all look alike... commercial boats look more custom made, they have a certain rusty vintage look from another century that I like. And passenger boats are just fantastic looking floating hotels, but most of the time it's commercial traffic  over here...

Unfortunately it does not have the cute small sailing boats :(
But to catch them it's easy, every weekend if it isn't a stormy day, just check if there's some wind: http://www.windguru.cz/
You can check out more in my Boats set. I'll keep updating it from time to time...
