Crossing the Atlantic

Bermuda - Azores 2006

June 4 - June 24, 2006

Here I am at Home in Gulf Harbour, before my worldly travels...

Below are some pictures from 2006 Crossing of the Atlantic Ocean...

Leaving Bermuda - We regretted leaving Bermuda as it is always so beautiful and peaceful. However, the sea called and it was time to move on. The first few nights were eventful, in particular one in which we experienced lightning like we haven't seen since leaving home (in Fort Myers - the "Lightning Capitol of the World"). Bob came below and Tania said a few prayers which were fortunately answered and I went untouched. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing and it was great fun on the crossing.



Crossing the Atlantic in 2006 - Here are Bob and Tania at the helm (Tania was not particular about putting on her SPF sun block sometimes as you can see) as well as some great cloud formations...





Daily Life on board as we crossed the Atlantic...many spectacular sunrises and sunsets...

Ocean Friends - Here my friend the "Portuguese Man O' War" came by for a visit - and fell over into attack position when confronted by my "overboard" Life Sling line I had trailing...Atlantic Spotted Dolphins checking out my undersides...the water was sooooo clear and spectacular!

After the "attack" on Saretta's Dream -


- someone decided there was better "fishing" for breakfast elsewhere...How many Dolphins can you spot that are leaving? This group all decided to leap at the same time...beautiful!
