Doug, Rosie, and Charlie sailed
the lovely and different gaffer Laura Bruce from Cornwall.
Here she is in Moorea in the Society Islands of French Polynesia.

John is photographing us while
sailing his Wharram cat Taraipo
in this calm off the coast of Venzuela.

We first met Hans and his family on his amazing world-traveling
Wharram cat in Trinidad. Here he is sailing in Opua, New Zealand.

Rat Bag, a beautiful old schooner,
left New Zealand for Tonga.

Our French friends, Patrice and Sylvie, with son Damien and daughter Alizée,
sailing their sloop Tahaa Tiva to Tahiti from the Tuamotus.

We met Crin Blanc in Panama and later in Nuku Hiva and Raiatea. She's a capable and adventurous cruising cat, created with a smart eye and 1980's era racing hulls.
