?

Thanks Dariush.
 
Many of these people live on their boat.  I talked to a stranger I met there who has been living on his boat with his wife for 24 years (12 years at this particular marina).  Others of course saved their entire lives, or maybe live in debt, or are fortunate enough to own their own business or make a good income as some doctors, lawyers, and professional athletes.
 
I could afford to get a boat, but I collect to many things to live on one, (some owners rent a storage facility), and I don't want to do the maintenance for a large boat.  I have 3 small ones however including a canoe.

Nice true view anaglyph and reportage!
I wonder who are these boats owners and what they do in they life making them capable to buy this terribly excpensive sea monsters..!! Once I calculated that I should work for 30 years saving all of my salary without spending a dime to buy a 12 meters boat!
Thank you Brian.

Thanks to everyone who commented on my recent images!
 
The day before yesterday, we had a lot of rain.  It was on it's way up the East coast toward New York per the last weather report I heard.  It left almost a foot of rain in some areas of MD.  Another tornado touched down about 2 miles from me (that's twice in a few months).  Flooding was wide-spread.
 
Here is an image I took of Oak Point Harbor Marina 2 doors down from me on Thursday.  The The water was over the piers.  The marina cuts off power when there is high water, so boats were either without power or were using generators.  I met an elderly couple that came down from Gettysburg to spend the night on their boat with anticipation of going out the next day which would have been Friday.  The lady said the boat was too high for her to climb aboard.  She said "There's no power on the boat", apparently unaware that the power was intentionally cut off by the marina.
 
A friend of mine told me his boat (located elsewhere) sunk because of the rain.  He said it was in fresh water so there would be no corrosion due to salt.  He was able to revive the boat.
 
Water is muddy but where I am the levels looked fairly normal today.
