A New Paradigm for Cruising

Culatra Sunday

It  is a relatively quiet Sunday here in Culatra. The locals and cruisers are mainly at the beach, and we are catching up, trying to forget the pain associated when family leaves after a visit. We’re baking, polishing stainless, doing a little design work, and finally putting together a high res slide show of the area.

Sitting at anchor, fitting in with the local rhythm of life, is the way we used to cruise. You don’t get the raw thrills of the high latitudes, but there is a certain pleasure to this form of existence none-the-less. Even with weekend chaos – and that is the only way to describe the scene here – we are enjoying Culatra.

This slide show link will show you what we’re talking about.

Post Script: there is a second photographer represented in this collection, our son-in-law Todd Beveridge. Todd is a professional photographer, which shows in his use of light and composition. Todd’s photos have his name in the file description. We aspire to his level of skill with the camera!

“The 83ft-long (25m) wave-piercer...could easily be mistaken for the spawn of the Royal Navy with its unpainted battleship grey, all-aluminum body. But that day, in those conditions, it was the only boat that I would have wanted to climb aboard to face the English Channel.” --Motor Boat & Yachting
