We Need Space


Göta Kanal – Sweden’s Longest Adventure

Who’s gonna go first?
I’m the little one, I should go first.
No, You shouldn’t. The big one should go first!

They can’t be serious.
Two boats in different sizes trying to race
in the narrow passage of the canal lock.

    hmm then, if they choose to be adamant, let them stay in the same position forever till one of them gives in. heheheh how’s that? I don’t give up when I know I am right- I am adamant- yes!

    Looks awfully tight in there. I think if I were the sailboat I’d probably let that big guy go on ahead. Just sayin’.
    Nice shot!
