Jake watched Maltese Falcon sail from the dock in Antigua… In case I didn’t believe him he recorded it with his camera:

K080125-0063.jpgYears ago my parents and I sailed into Bequia and noticed a small dingy out taking pictures of us sailing in to the harbor.  We didn’t think much of it at the time, but at cocktail time Kenmore Henville came out to the boat with a printed and framed 8×10 of us sailing in that afternoon.  It’s was probably the best shot ever taken of the boat to that point (I say this only because they’ve now gone back, and the new shots are better!).  My parents bought the picture (it’s one of the header images on the site) and have since become friends with Kenmore.  They had the chance to go back a few weeks ago, and setup another shoot with Kenmore, below are the images.  If you want some awesome images of your boat, go to Bequia and look for Kenmore, he’ll take care of you!

Well I’ve had a bit of time to go through some of my shots. I still have to go through my shots from Antigua. I also need to add these shots to the posts when/where they happened, but I haven’t had time yet. I’ve also added 2 new shots to the rotation up top. Enjoy:

OK, I’ve now had enough time to add Mom and Dad’s shots from their cameras to their gallery, here are their shots:

I finally had some time to figure out how to make a google map with multiple lat/lon locations on it. Google has no problems if you can drive somewhere, but once you give it locations that are in/on the water, it can’t get from one to another. Well today I had a bit of time to sit down and figure out how to do it with some custom maps. They should be easily viewed by anyone here by simply clicking on the “Location” tab at the top. You can also click here to get there. Please leave a comment if it’s not working.

watch list.jpgDad sent me a copy of the watch list and asked me to post it.  It gets pretty confusing if you’ve never stood a watch before.  When you look at it, you can easily see when any one person is up.  Remember each person is up for 4 hours.  2 with the person listed before them, and 2 with the person listed after them.  You then have 6 hours off where you can sleep, read, fish, help the “on” crew or anything else within reason.
