Something is Out of Place

Boats above the Building

 Chris and I joined friends at one of our favorite watering holes for Happy Hour last evening. It was $2 Tuesday and that makes it a celebration. 

As we parked the car, however, we noticed boats that just seemed a bit out of place. Tiki52, the restaurant of choice for the evening, shares a waterfront with a marina. We usually park near the building where the boats are not visible on their storage racks, but last evening we noticed them for the first time. It just seemed strange having boats in their spaces above the building. 

We have become used to the multi-tiered storage system, it is similar to ones we have seen used in big cities to park cars. With the boats there is a large special built tractor which takes the boats from the storage space and then moves it either onto stands for maintenance or places the boat into the water. We see this system in use at Pirates Cove Marina where we often motor from when we reserve a boat for the day. 

We just had never seen the boats seemingly atop a building.
