1. We carried our outboard motor across the
ocean strapped to the mast ladder.

2. Richie is standing on the bench in the aft cabin,
hiding from the sun. He is wearing his safety harness,
so we don't have to worry about him falling overboard!

3. Looking across the aft cabin; open hatch for ventilation.

4. A beautiful sunny day about 200 miles north of Hawaii on the Acrux
sailboat. Looking west (starboard) through the mast stays.

5. Mainsail--not only great for sailing with, but also makes a dandy
shade cloth!

6. Under full sail in the tradewinds just north of Hawaii. Looking
across the main cabin roof at the bottom of the jib.

7. Mizzen sail
