I once knew a very wise 4-year-old, the granddaughter of a friend. She told her mother, “You do what you want and I do what I want. That’s called a compromise.” I try to live my life with that in mind. Along with that random memory are some random photos from my recent days. I finally had our glass curtain cleaned and then saw a glass bottom boat from the terrace. I’ve never seen one here and am excited to check it out. Does anyone remember the movie “The Glass Bottom Boat” with Doris Day and Rod Taylor? All I remember about it is Rod Taylor’s bare chest. I was 12.
Una vez conocí a una niña de 4 años muy sabia, nieta de una amiga. Le dijo a su madre: “Tú haces lo que quieres y yo hago lo que quiero. Eso se llama compromiso”. Intento vivir mi vida con eso en mente. Junto a ese recuerdo aleatorio hay algunas fotos aleatorias de mis últimos días. Finalmente limpié nuestra cortina de cristal y luego vi un barco con fondo de cristal desde la terraza. Nunca he visto uno aquí y estoy emocionado de verlo. ¿Alguien recuerda la película “El barco con fondo de cristal” con Doris Day y Rod Taylor? Todo lo que recuerdo es el pecho desnudo de Rod Taylor. Yo tenía 12 años.

Ha! The “drawing a picture” snap is priceless…
I’ve never seen a glass-bottomed boat – with or without Rod Taylor’s “gorilla chest” – on the Costa either, just the “Starfish ferry”. Jx
Jon:
Yes, the starfish ferry passes regularly. I’ve never taken one, but it might be nice to try.
No chests, but I did go in a glass bottom boat in Florida, nearest I, boud, will ever get to snorkeling, as a fervent dry land mermaid.
Boud:
I like water but I don’t necessarily want to know what’s all around me when I’m swimming. Ignorance is bliss.
Delightfully eclectic photos today. Now THOSE are tats!
Debra:
He was with someone who had beautifully done tats. His were rustic.
I have never been on a glass bottom boat or seen the movie which is unusual as I enjoy old movies.
And the picture is Moose sleeping!!!! Gave me a laugh….he is OUT! Those plums sure look good. I love plums.
Mistress Borghese:
It was a well rated movie. Worth a look for the camp of it, too. Yeah, Moose got we he wanted and then took a nap. He didn’t budge when I walked in to take pictures.
There used to be so many Florida springs attractions that had glass bottom boats. I’m not sure if they still do. It’s such a funny and great concept, isn’t it?
All right. Speaking of funny- that clip was so sweet and dear. Was all of that actually in the movie? It looks like they were having too much fun to be acting. Gosh, but Doris Day was a darling thing. Joke all you want but she shone.
Rod Taylor had a menacing presence in that picture, doesn’t he?
Did Tattoo Guy have eyes on the back of his head?

Ms. Moon:
I remember all those ads for glass bottom boats. I need to check this one out. Yes, that was in the movie. Doris Day was known for making things look and sound natural. Tattoo Guy did not have actual eyes but I think he was suggesting he did.
“Drawing a picture” LOL!! Good one.
J Barlow:
When I spotted that couple, I thought ‘Oh my god! Right out in the open.” But I do think she was drawing on his torso and then snapping pictures. Or maybe not!
Rod Taylor.
Hubba hubba.
Bob:
I can’t remember thinking about anything else when I saw that movie.
I think Paul Lynde appeared in drag in that movie.
Kirk:
He did. And he was hilarious.
I thought she was sampling the maple syrup.
David:
Ew!
Frank said: Not a typical post today. With all deference to Debra, that tat helmet or whatever is disturbing. Can’t log into WordPress on phone.
Frank:
It would be interesting to understand what was behind those tattoos.
I’ve never been in a glass-bottom boat, but I would have imagined that being up on the top deck is not the point of being in a glass-bottom boat 🙂
As Frank commented, that helmet you added made that photo REALLLLLY creepy and unsettling.
Judy C:
I agree with you about the top deck. If you’re the seasick type, being inside would probably not help. I have to be honest: I found the guy a bit creepy and unsettling before I added the helmet.
Wise words from a four-year-old. I find the older I get, the less tolerant I am of anyone trying to tell anyone else how to live their life.
If it’s a glass bottom boat, why are all of the people on the top level of the boat? Maybe they all crowd down below when they get to viewing areas? I’ve clearly never done a glass bottom boat tour!
Kelly:
There were plenty of people down below. I know people who get seasick and wouldn’t spend a minute inside on a boat. But then why go on one with a glass bottom. Maybe they do all crowd down when something good is announced. THAT doesn’t sound very pleasant.
I see Moose is perfecting his Downward Cat yoga move — gotta work off all those treats somehow, eh? And I’m with Maddie on those plums — they look delicious!
TCM had a Doris Day tribute a while back (a day of her films) and “The Glass Bottom Boat” was one I watched. There were a few funny scenes, but not one of her best films.
The guy with all the tatts looks ready to enter Valhalla any minute, yikes!
Tundra Bunny:
Moose and Dudo are exceptional at Downward Cat. The plums and other fruits have been pure perfection lately. And SG goes to the trouble of cutting them all up for dessert. Cooking! Glass Bottom Boat is rated well, but I have a feeling I wouldn’t think much of it if I saw it again… except for Rod Taylor. The guy with all the tats was a bit scary for me. Probably a teddy bear.
Great photos as usual. I cannot imagine sitting still for all of those tattoos. And the pain, and the permanence!
Michael:
Especially the permanence!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen “The Glass Bottom Boat,” and I love Doris Day! I’m going to rent it if I can. When you first mentioned it I was confusing it with “Houseboat” with Sophia Loren.
Steve:
I remember Houseboat! And Cary Grant.
I am not familiar with this boat movie; I will have a look-see.
Urspo:
I don’t know what I would think of it now, but it was well received in 1966.
