Yay! I've got a journey to post :D
I was on a weekend's spot of sailing on a nice 33-foot Elan. You know the usual bermuda rigged job built for bobbing up and down coastal waters.
'Twas fun, got a sunburn, did sails, tiller (or wheel actually), navigation, photography, sauna... :lol3
Meet the crew:

That's Miika on the left with his hand on the winch, Anne sitting on the railing, Tapio at the wheel and our skipper Aki seems checking out the scenery. We're approaching our night stop at Gåsgrundet on the engine here, in an almost total lack of wind.
View forward looked like this:

You can see the pier we tied on to. It's usually used by a connection boat, but it hadn't started yet so we could use it safely with our 6-foot keel and all.
And here's our trusty 5-ton tub of fiberglass safely anchored:

Gåsgrundet was a lovely place. There were violets by the thousand. Birds everywhere, a swallow had a nest under the pier we were docked at, happily sang his song at pier. :lust
Taking in the scenery in sepia:

Here's my favorite moment of the cruise, a spur of the moment portrait shoot with the lovely Anne. :D

Our sunset looked like this:

Here's a couple more from the trip, another one of Anne on the boat:

I took this one back at the home dock,

I tried a new PP-technique with that one. It's selective color obviously, but I also set the sepia to leak some of the original color. Do you like it or hate it?
That's it, full gallery here (http://pyry.smugmug.com/gallery/5027403_EBNbE/1/301856403_PaRui), with a bunch of shots taken by Anne and Aki as well.
Thanks for looking, tell me what you think! :thumb
