Photos of Delphinus

I have posted some photos of Delphinus, sorry they are not in order and jump all over the place!

Delphinus: Leaving Bequia

Delphinus: leaving Venezuela - Margarita (Porlamar)

First mate: Emily

Delphinus: at anchor in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas (US Virgin Islands)

Delphinus: at anchor in the Tobago Cays (beautiful!)

Delphinus: a water shot while snorkeling in Bonaire

Delphinus: (and a buddy boat) in Islas las Aves (Venezuela) - Barlovento

Delphinus: at sea

Delphinus: wing on wing

Delphinus: Just left Union, anchored with Petit St. Vincent in the background

Delphinus: La Blanquilla (we left the first little bay we were in and anchored around the corner in another much bigger bay. Wasn't nearly as nice as the first bay but oh well, still beautiful).

La Blanquilla below (after leaving Porlamar, Margarita)

Delphinus: Venezuela

Delphinus: leaving Porlamar

Delphinus: Tobago Cays

Los Testigos

Leaving Porlamar and heading to Juan Griego. If the waterline seems a little low, remember, we'd just loaded 140 bottles of rum and 12 cases of beer onto the boat!

Delphinus anchored in Mayreau

La Blanquilla again

A great view of the cockpit from the foredeck.

I loved sitting on the bow sprit, particularly after we had the cushion custom made for it - it was so comfortable and a great way to watch the dolphins.

When the wind was directly behind us (when we were running with the wind), we put the pole out.

Marina Cay in the British Virgin Islands.

We were married on Delphinus! Here she is in preparation, with all the flags and lights on her.
