I really like the colors on this one: the bright red and yellow against the grey canal water. This bootje is going down in a somewhat weird manner, it’s going nose down, while usually a bootje fills up slowly and evenly.

This one is almost filled to the brim with rainwater. It’s been raining a lot lately in Amsterdam. A couple of showers more, and it’s bye-bye for this one.

Somehow, almost every picture on this blog seems to feature either a coot or a duck, but this one has both.

This is not really a "gezonken bootje" of course, it's still floating, but whether it will one day sail again, that I doubt.
If you look closely you'll see a little note attached to the top of the white cabin. Of course I was very curious as to what the note said. I imagined an angry neighbor telling the owner to move this piece of shit somewhere else.
What did the note say?
You'll have to wait till tomorrow…

Is it floating or hanging on the ropes? I really like the way the edges of this boat are balancing around the water line

Ducks may have taken possesion of this one, but all in all, this sturdy vessel is in pretty good shape. Just a little cleaning and bailing out the water and the little one is good for another summer

Look closely and you actually see two boats hanging on for dear life. The one closest to the quay is pulling the other down. They look damn dirty too.
