The images presented were taken in the 1990's. Taken as prints, there is degradation when going from print to digital images. Also, where we were traveling sometimes delayed processing for weeks or months and humidity played havoc with the undeveloped film. Still, I wanted to share our experiences through the pictures we took.

Aug 1996. After three weeks of island hopping in the Azores, we gathered enough resolve to again tune Herb in to check on the Atlantic’s mood. We still felt the sting of our Bermuda departure, but we took the plunge when a gap appeared between weather systems. This time it worked. Except for two sail problems that we were able to solve, we had a fast, uneventful twelve-day sail to England--Wednesday, August 7 to Monday August 19th. But that’s not how it’s supposed to be, so each day, we wondered if it would be the day it all changed. Constant anticipation of bad things to come prevented us from really enjoying the trip until we were in the English Channel. Then we both believed we had little to lose in agreeing out loud that it had been one of our best passages.  Hero Carl rescues the Genoa halyard by using a net bag to snag the broken snap shackle.
