  • I couldn’t tell if they were racing or taking lessons.
  • One of the many grottos on Capri Island.

Absolutely amazing boat trip around Capri Island, Italy.  My pictures don’t do justice as to how beautiful this Mediterranean island is.

  • Holland America's Zuiderdam
  • Some of the crew members on True North
  • Stars and Stripes
  • Stars and Stripes
  • The first twenty one days of our cruise.

Caribbean Cruise on Holland American’s Zuiderdam with stops in Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, St Kitts, Tortola, Sint Maarten, Antigua, Martinique, Barbados, Tobago, Grenada, Aruba, Curacao, Jamacia, Cayman Islands, Cozumel, Grand Turk, and Key West.

One of the highlights of the trip for me was the  12-meter challenge in Sint Maartin where Dennis Conner’s Stars and Stripes raced against True North.  I was a main grinder on True North, and we beat Stars and Stripes by a nose.

Nice sail around Mattox Creek in overcast conditions with a light drizzle near the end of my sail.  Fourth year that I’ve been a Century Club member.  Thank you Spin Sheet Magazine for putting this together.
