Boat #227, Chile

Boat #228, Liberia

Boat #229, Mozambique (Bonus Stamp!)

Yesterday I spent the whole day on the beach at Lake Huron. I saw lots of great freighters on their way north to the Mackinac Straits, and plenty of small sailboats coming from Port Huron and Sarnia too. It was a nice day, but I kind of forgot to update 365 Boats. Hence we have this bonus boat. I really like this boat. Though small, it bears a striking resemblance to my boat in Jonathan.

Boat #230, New Zealand

The only non-U.S. stamp in my collection that honors the Great Lakes. Thanks New Zealand!

Boat #231, France

Boat #232, Maldives

Boat #233, Romania

Boat #234, Isle of Man, Our First Visit Below Deck

Starting the week off with a bang.

Boat #235, Martinique

Doesn't this stamp just make you want to hunt for buried treasure?

Boat #236, Libya

Boat #237, China - Lighthouse Week

Like yesterday, today's lighthouses don't include any boats. So first, let's get boat #237 out of the way...

And now, to close out the week, a really nice, colorful set depicting the lighthouses of China...

Boat #238, Sierra Leone

This lighthouse stamp, though quite lovely, does not include a seagoing vessel, and therefore does not qualify as boat #238. So after some digging, I found the stamp below—the only boat stamp in my collection hailing from Sierra Leone.

Can I just say, the British Empire's insistence on slapping the disembodied head of a monarch on every stamp from every one of their territories and colonies is, quite frankly, kind of creepy.

Boat #239, American Shoals Florida and West Quoddy Head Maine

Another lighthouse (with a bonus Coast Guard boat) from the same set as yesterday's close up of the Hatteras lighthouse.

And also, this classic candy stripe lighthouse from West Quoddy Head, Maine.

Boat #240, Cape Hatteras, North Carolina - Lighthouse Week

A nice little scene from Cape Hatteras National Seashore. There are actually two more stamps in this block that I'm missing. Luckily, the Lighthouse Stamp Society (yes, that is a real thing) has every lighthouse stamp ever printed up on their website. Here is the link to the complete stamp block:

As I was lighthouse hunting this week I came across this view of the Hatteras lighthouse too:
There'll be more from this stamp set tomorrow.

Boat #241, Jersey - Announcing the Commencement of Lighthouse Week

All this week, in addition to the usual boats, we'll be visiting lighthouses of the world. Enjoy!

Boat #242, Norway

Boat #243, Romania

Boat #244, Cuba

Cuba. Or, as Erin says, The Repooblica of Coobica.

Boat #245, St. Pierre and Miquelon

St. Pierre and Miquelon is a group of small islands off the coast of Newfoundland. The territory is the last remnant of the former colonial empire of New France that is still under French control.

Boat #246, Brazil
