Weekend Reflections: estuary scene

The boat name had me puzzled.  The dockside Weber barbeque added to the incongruity.  Who can forget the great German movie by the same name.  Hardly a light film.  If the owner meant to reference the movie, he has the wrong boat.  If he didn't, should probably choose another name.  Nonetheless, he and the other boats provided reflections, even in icky water.  For more reflections, visit James's meme Weekend Reflections.

    No, not a light film. Then again, it's just 'the boat'... Boats are always a welcome sight for me, thanks for that!

    Love Das Boot...but wouldn't feel to safe submerging in that sailboat. Great reflections today.

    I knew a powerboat in Mexico years ago with the same name. No clue as to why. I love boat pictures no matter how bad the water!

    It is probably even simpler. A German owning a boat, i.e., das boot.

    Was going to say the same as Jack (comment above), or someone from German descent:) I
    t would be more of American thinking to name their boat after a movie. Since I'm European myself, a European would be a lot less inclined to do so.
