Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 11, 2021

It helps if the body of water you’re boating on is larger than your boat.

Like dipping your toe in the water.

Baby steps. Tomorrow, he runs a bit of water and hopes not to get seasick.

The minute he plops that large derriere in there……I hope he owns a good mop.

Next thing you know, he will be buying a 45’ cruiser where he will never get wet.

Shhh! He’s about to invent the Swedish hi-dive rescue boat!

Hey, at least Clayton has it right side up. That’s a start!

This is a step up for Clayton. Last week he had a small flotilla in the bathtub. A month ago it was a rubber duckie.

He’s just a little dingy-lingy.

Shove off!

Up next – White water rafting!

His wife can’t wait for him to try a lake!

Gonna have trouble with the port side oar when he practices his rowing.

Hmmm, seems like he’s been studying old Lucille Ball videos.

Next up. SCUBA.

Thank goodness he has a life vest on! :)

You can never be too careful.

And if his missus comes in unexpectedly, Clayton will be getting into hotter water.

Rub a dub dub, Clayton’s in the tub!
