Boats in Puerto Lopez #AtoZChallenge
Boats help support many families. Fishermen are at sea for one to several nights.
Daily tour boats take people whale watching, island hiking, snorkeling, and diving.

I am a US Expat in Ecuador. I grew up on a Minnesota farm, worked in IT in California's Silicon Valley, then moved to a coastal Ecuador fishing village. My goal is to share Ecuador with you, one snippet at a time. Topics include attractions, compassion, ecotourism, Ecuador products, everyday Ecuador, and flora and fauna. Please let me know what you would like to read more about!

Great shot – from a plane?

Thank you – yes, from an ultralight plane.
John Holton
I was going to guess a helicopter, myself. Nice shot!
Emily Bloomquist
It would have been a good guess. Thanks John!

I have enough trouble locating my car in a car park – I wouldn't stand a chance of finding my boat among that lot!

Ha ha! Almost every boat is blue and white, adding to the difficulties.
Kristin
The boats look like a school of fish in the water.

You are right, Kristin – they do!

Hi Emily – lovely shots of the boats and marina … and what a wonderful trip that must be in the ultralight plane … fantastic to see the coastline that way … gorgeous – cheers Hilary
Emily Bloomquist
It was an incredible flight, Hilary. Over much too quickly but I enjoyed every moment, seeing the coastline like I never had before.
Anagha Yatin
Felt as if the boats are congregating for discussion on some important topic!
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Emily Bloomquist
Yes, a boat convention! Ha ha!
Heather Erickson
Great picture! They look like little toys.
Emily Bloomquist
Thanks! They sure do.
Heidi
What a great view! Looks like a very active boating community there in Puerto Lopez…. Heidi at, A Little of This & That
Emily Bloomquist
Yes, fishing is the primary industry in town so every fishing family owns or works on a boat. There are not too many individually owned pleasure crafts but there are quite a few tour boats. Thanks Heidi!
Arti Jain
Hi Emily. Sorry I missed your A. I have family visiting for Easter break, so it's a bit hectic.
First of all, I really like your new blog name. It's perfect.
And secondly, that's an awesome shot.

Emily Bloomquist
Thank you, Arti, for both your comment on the new blog name and on the pic. No worries about A. Enjoy your family!

That's a great shot, Emily. I initially thought it was a drone, but then the top left corner gave it away. The boats look like fish that have come to feed.
B is for Boss
Emily Bloomquist
Thank you Varad. I wanted some indication in the shot that showed it was not a drone and that worked well. The boats do look like feeding fish! LOL!
Leslie Moon

Rebecca Douglass
Nice photo! And I'll agree about the blog name change–it's good.
Rebecca who is NOT doing A to Z
Emily Bloomquist
Thank you, Rebecca! I contemplated the blog name change for a long time then finally went for it. Thanks for stopping by.
Miss Andi
Wow, that is one beautiful shot! I love boats. I don't know how to drive them (is that even the right word? Drive?) but I just love being on them.

Emily Bloomquist
Thanks Miss Andi! I am in the same boat, so to speak. I love being on them but don't know how to drive (operate?) them either.
Arlee Bird
That's a lot of boats. I get nervous about being on a boat, but that's just my fear of open water I guess. When we went to Ecuador we took a nice boat ride on Lake Cuicocha. I was nervous at first, but then I became very relaxing after a while.

Tossing It Out
Emily Bloomquist
It is a lot of boats! Going out on a lake was probably smarter for you than out on the ocean. Next time, you could give the ocean a try. My mom is nervous on boats, too, but she went out with me. We had on life jackets the whole time. Without those, I doubt she would have enjoyed it (or even gone).

Beautiful pic. Island hiking sounds like fun.
