Picture 26 of 33 from Album Ocean Girl and crew
Sailing Reliance. In my twenties I crewed on many sailboats. This is a Little Harbor 52(ish), nothing like getting paid to sail in the Atlantic and Bahamas:) Auto pilot broke first day out, so it was hand steering all the way from St. Thomas to Eluthera (as you can tell it was hard work). My favorite night was surfing this fine vessel down 15 footers on a perfect moonless night. I couldn't see anything so it was all by feel and hearing, at least, hearing the wave breaking reminded me to get ready for a ride down the wave, the deck humming with speed by the time we reached the bottom... just perfect. That trip we made 225 mile days.
This was ten..cough cough.. uh er fifteen years ago:)
