Square-rigger Idyll ~ a South Seas Sunset

Having just finished my birthday dinner of Salmon croquettes, my favorite, I was looking through some old photos. I came across this photo of myself at the wheel on the New Zealand built HMAV Bounty, underway towards Fiji, outbound from Tahiti.

This photo was taken at sunset on my 30th birthday. What an incredible sky.

The South Seas are beyond words as these other photos illustrate.
