Destination Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, January 2019 aboard the Bavaria, in a nice west wind.
Man I love the width of those side-decks. You could have dance classes with that much room.
Here you go... 3 for Wednesday...

Lake Ontario Sunset, somewhere North of Oswego, NY, heading to Port Credit, ON.
Our mutual friend @Al Schober with my son (14 at the time) in Al's DN iceboat, January 2004. As I recall the temps were in the single-digits that day, and the ice was crystal clear, 4+ inches thick (except warm springs made areas where there was liquid water). My son had a thrill when he lifted a runner and will always remember it (me too). Al was very gracious to invite us sailing. A nice memory. Thanks Al.
Thanks Al.
Thanks for the memory, Larry! Thing I remember most about that was how your son's mood went from zero to Mach 2.
Thanks! That width between the shrouds and the toerail was one of the several items that impressed me about this model. It very much facilitates getting from the cockpit to the anchor when we are readying to deploy. Also, when the flopper-stopper is deployed from the spinnaker pole attached to the mast, I can tend to it easily, and even move quickly under the pole athwart the deck there to get to the anchor as well. The Bavaria 44 has much less width there. It’s a joy!

The pelicans are always a good photo subject at the Baytown marina, especially this week.
Not sailing pics but I was coming back from the lake after working on the boat - that should count. Seeing the balloons is a sure sign Spring is here and sailing season is beginning for us! These were all coming down for a landing. The balloon chasers are standing by.
