#2544 "Toad of Portsmouth Harbour"

After completing #2543 "Church of the Good Thief", I headed back to Portsmouth Harbour to a small sailboat that I had noticed earlier.

The name of this small sailing boat was simply "Toad". Even a simple toad can be a beautiful creature. It made me think of Mr. Toad of Toad Hall. Mr. Toad was one of the main characters in the 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, and also the title character of the 1929 A. A. Milne play Toad of Toad Hall based on the book. 

I imagine that the "Toad" would have many stories to tell about student sailors and life on the waters of Lake Ontario.
