\"Magdelena-Svalbard-204-1-Pano-Edit-copy\"<\/p>\n

Now we get to the hard part, choosing art work and photographs for the many surfaces aboard Cochise<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most of what we enjoy viewing has a story behind it, like the lead photo of Magdelena bay on Svalbard, just a few miles below the 80 degree north line. This is one of the most beautiful anchorages we have ever experienced.<\/p>\n

\"Sheep_Cove-10-Edit-2\"<\/p>\n

Or Sheep Cove in Alaska\u2019s Prince William Sound, where we first began to hear the call of the high latitudes.<\/p>\n

\"vera-air-391\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have this photo of Wind Horse<\/em> anchored in the Bahamas to remind ourselves we need to spend a lot more time investigating this lovely island nation.<\/p>\n

\"DSC04896-Edit-Edit-Edit-Edit-copy\"<\/p>\n

This shot of Bosque del Apache is destined for the port hull panel in the forward suite. It is the type of scene we never get tired of looking at.<\/p>\n

\"_DSC4412-Edit-2\"<\/p>\n

On the opposite side of the cabin we will be looking at these beautiful trees from a high mountain meadow in Utah.<\/p>\n

\"5D3A2795-copy\"<\/p>\n

The port\u00a0guest cabin will get this Egret on its hull side.<\/p>\n

\"1DX_8616-Edit\"<\/p>\n

While the starboard guest cabin will be looking at foggy Maine on their hull side.<\/p>\n

\"1DX29152-Edit\"<\/p>\n

The bulkhead adjacent to the main electrical panel will carry this reminder not to mess with Mother Nature.<\/p>\n

\"dg800-133-Edit\"<\/p>\n

The annex, AKA the laundry, workout, and overflow guest space, will consume lots of photos. We are thinking in terms of several\u00a0boat photos, all with a story. That is Beowulf V<\/em>\u00a0above, blasting her way to a world speed record of 31.58 knots over a 500 meter course. Not so fast now, when sailboards routinely go 40+, but in 1971 it was a lot of knots.<\/p>\n

\"Beowulf-Carib-1500-twin-053-2-2\"<\/p>\n

The last Beowulf<\/em>, number seven, on her way to the British Virgin Islands. Cool photo notwithstanding, this reminds us of the pleasure that comes with working together as a team, pushing hard, yet prudently. Fully crewed yachts have yet to equal Beowulf\u2019s<\/em> five days and three hour Caribbean 1500 passage record.<\/p>\n

\"Intermezzo-kids017\"<\/p>\n

At the other end of the performance spectrum is Intermezzo<\/em>. She was far from the ideal, but the price and timing were right, and in spite of the fact that at 50-feet she was considered too big, she got us started cruising full-time.<\/p>\n

\"img002-Edit\"<\/p>\n

Intermezzo ll <\/em>was our first ultimate cruising yacht. The aft engine room, hull windows, swim step, and minimalist deck (read: no teak) broke the rules.<\/p>\n

\"Scans-Misc121-Edit\"<\/p>\n

Sundeer<\/em>, at 68 feet was pushing the size envelope we could handle as a couple, or so we thought. To finish off our photo selection forward we offer you…<\/p>\n

\"beo-twin-spins-Edit\"<\/p>\n

…Beowulf<\/em> yet again. This time with her twin spinnakers set, over 6,000 square feet of \u00a0power. We can confirm that Beowulf<\/em> was our ultimate Mom and Pop cruiser.<\/p>\n

\"Sunrise<\/p>\n

Moving back to the living quarters, we have a foggy morning in North Carolina.<\/p>\n

\"1DX14708<\/p>\n

The Palouse in Eastern Washington after the harvest.<\/p>\n

There is more, but to see the rest of the photos you will need to wait on a tour of Cochise<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
