Description

This photo was taken in Church Creek, SC. Ted, Maggie and I met in the Bahamas and traveled together for a couple of months back to the US. Dad joined me in Florida to help me bring the boat back up the coast. We got up every morning before the sun came up to make the most of the day sailing. I woke up early and popped my head out of the hatch to this beautiful scene. I ran down and grabbed the camera and spent the next twenty minutes capturing some amazing photos. This whole morning could be it’s own gallery. The light changed every few minutes. I was being eaten alive by evil mosquitoes the entire time but it was worth it.

My second big trip aboard my sailboat Arcturus was the winter of 2011-2012. I traveled from NC to the Bahamas and back for about four months. Dad, Jimmy James, Mike and I brought the boat down from NC to Ft. Lauderdale. Mark joined me from Ft. Lauderdale to Nassau, through the Berry Islands. I was by myself through the Exumas for about six weeks before meeting up with Bill Owens in Georgetown. Met some wonderful friends and had an incredible time for my first time out of the country onboard Arcturus.
