Favorite photo of your "baby"?

Badger needs no stinkin' flybridge. Too many boats look like shrunken and compressed cruise ships, being almost as tall as long. Waters too wild here to be comfortable high above waterline.

Transpac Eagles have the best solution...something Badger may sport once I retire. It's frustrating to maneuver the boat and try to photograph whales and other wildlife through pilothouse doors.

I like the sum escape picture.

I frequently frame my pics w existing natural “frames” but this one is a prize winner. It looks like the tree has it’s arm around the boat so there’s no doubt what the subject of the picture is even though the tree is much bigger and occupies much more of the picture. Cheers!

I don't really miss my old boat, but I do definitely miss having a boat. The last three pics I took of the ol' wench were the best.

Thanks Nomad Willy! A good friend has a good eye for photo ops....

On my i-pad I took this pic at Langley on the so end of Whidby Is. WA. WE enjoyed staying there. Great places to eat. We ate breakfast at a big cafe that had a old style tin (literally) pressed (raised) patterend ceiling. Nice places to walk too. Tight moorage.

My only time into Langley I pulled into that empty slip in the front left of your photo. There was a larger boat where yours is in the photo. I had only owned our boat for about 6 months and was a bit intimidated when the dock master told me where to go. Fortunately, it was one of those times where everything went well and we shoehorned ourselves in that spot.

My pilothouse has two doors (one step to starboard deck, four steps to port deck) so taking photos is no problem.

So does ours and it sucks for photographing, especially whales which can pop up anywhere.

Standing on the saloon roof with its 360 degree view, with engine controls and steering mounted to the aft edge of the pilothouse roof would result in many, many, many, many more photo opportunities.

It would also be nice to see "the whole show" while motoring up 1/2 mile wide channels with 6,000' mountains on either side, instead of the little bit you can see out those itty-bitty tiny windows...

Uh oh.

I don’t know if this is in the Trent Severn or the Erie Canal. Either way I love this picture.

Favourite Anchorage

Beautiful...care to divulge the anchorage?

False Creek, Vancouver, B.C.

Took my kids to a concert at B.C. Place, in the background...nothing quite like ‘tailgating’ at anchor then dinghying over for a show.

Desolation Sound. Very near some that are waaay overcrowded, we can still find seclusion and good prawning. So no, I won't give the specific place.

Ha...can’t say I blame you! That’s why they call them ‘hidden’ treasures, finder’s keepers!

Always wondered where the Atlantic 45 went.
If I ever came into money I’d be looking at them.

Thanks for posting.

I'll bite. We're all shipshape but I apologize for the laundry on the cling-on.

As a professional photographer, and lover of boat porn... this thread is like giving crack to a druggy!

Here in the US most people know your boat a raised deck pilot house cruiser. What makes it even sweeter, and really rare here, is it being a motorsailer.

I love those raised deck lobster style boats.








Truely all the boats here are really nice.
