Beckoning Sky on Sky Watch Friday

We are on holidays here and yesterday was just one of those drop-dead gorgeous days with the sky and sea so beckoning. A perfect way to have spend it was on a sail boat....

......pity it isn't ours!!!

I've been jumping up and down on my deck waving my champagne glass but haven't scored a berth yet!! Maybe I'm being too pushy?

Check out other beckoning skies here.

    Hmmm- thought that would work for sure. How about slowly removing bits of clothing - I heard that might make some kind of difference (but nothing from experience here - sorry!) Gorgeous yacht. And sea. Oh - and sky.

    Very hot here Jules, 34 in the city and it will be hotter in the western suburbs. Don't know what happened to spring.

    An ethereal glow there.

    [I originally wrote “urethral” for some reason, not a glow that I want!]

    Howdy Jules,
    So nice to see your happy smiling visage after such a long break in the proceedings.
    Thanks for all your wonderful words of encouragement over the last seven weeks since we have been working our fingers to the bone in the Northern Blog Department.
    I must say that the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea at Palavas-les-Flots just outside Montpellier were almost as nice as your picture today.
    Marie and Madame ensured that I was well and truly initiated in the French method of getting wet. What a hoot it was !!!
    If I'm game enough, you'll see the results on ADP in a few days.

    Please pass on my best to Benson and HWDB. We waved as we flew over on Tuesday but nobody looked up.

    Kisses and stuff from Oz;
    M. & Mme, B.

    Kris - no that is entirely another burning sensation!!!

    Alifan - so glad you received all the tropic good cheer i was sending!!!

    Denise - you may have better luck than I had getting on board!!!

    ann - you need to pop over - it is cool here - only 30 degrees today

    A great boat or would it be offended to be called a boat? I am a land-rat but still admire a great
    sailing yacht. Wonderful photo Jule. I understand your wish; dreaming is nice too!
