Exam Time
Writing exams... I was already done my Intermediates by this point - and not yet ready for seniors.
Friends Come Aboard
This Coast Guard aux unit was friends with some of the crew - so they stopped by with their little zodiac - then the fun started... (this is still during the exams)
Tormenting Trainees
yes, you are supposed to be quiet during an exam - but we couldnīt resist free rides in the coast guard zoadic for crew!
I got to drive!
Twin 75Hp outboards with plane control can be a LOT of fun. I felt sorry for those still writing exams (but only a little)
More Hanging Out
Just the guys down in the Aft Cabin
Massive Mug-Up
At Teakern Arm a two crew mug-up is always a blast!

Just a quick snap.
Surprise!
I love snapping people when they donīt expect it
a trio of wierd expressions
I know they look drunk - must have been tired...
Spontanious!
I literally was just coming up out of the aft cabin, Mary put her arm around me and instantly we have one of my favorite photos.
Go Skipper!
This was my first trip sailing with Skipper Dave.
Starboard Watch

The Crew Shot
This is a bit sad for me because one of the volunteer crew this trip passed away in a tragic accident 6 months after this photo was taken ;(
