Sailing away... 1947 - a photo on Flickriver

Sailing away... 1947

            My Dad took his last breath very peacefully last night at 11:00pm. It was a quiet passing after a day spent with my mother, my brother and I and my oldest son. Now he is off to whatever comes after this life. I like to think he had a loud and excited welcoming committee calling to him as he left this life and that he left us feeling that the one he led here was one well lived.

I don't know the story behind this photo but it appears to be some sort of fishing boat (could be Bermuda), but he sure isn't dressed for a day of fishing here. Believe me, I never saw him dressed like this. Ever!
