At one point Steve and I got out in the Dinghy (a measly 4hp device)
and ran circles around our luxury cruiser to take pictures from all angles. Of
course, our Skipper Joe couldn't resist and gave us the run for the money,
pulling away with the 53" yacht, leaving us out on the ocean in our
nutshell.

of the crew, hailing the outcasts |

| Boris didn't
let the photo op keep him from fishing long... |

|
 |
| Ignorant about
sailing at first... |
|
 |
| ...we now know
the names and functions of most of these sails and ropes |
|
 |
| We climbed back
and forth on this part many times |
|
 |
| The cockpit
view. The roof was not designed with Steve and me in mind. We
had to duck |

|
 |
| The stairs
going down to the cabin and the nav table |
|
 |
| The dinner
table. The whole boat is done in luxury wood |
|
 |
| The galley,
which would move precariously while at sea |
|
 |
| Our bathroom,
where you'd spend time when the boat rocked too hard |

the sunset. You can't beat that |

a steel yacht our friend Claus bought (and brought) from the
