marine life – The Navigator

An evening harbor scene with several docked fishing boats under a cloudy sky. The boat in the foreground, named "Falcon Rock," has a white hull with wooden trim and a tall mast with various antennas and flags. Other boats, some with red and blue accents, are moored along the docks in the background. The water is calm, reflecting the boats and the overcast sky. The setting appears to be a coastal marina with wooden pilings and a mix of fishing and recreational vessels.
