Great stuff. Tons of good subject matter in and around boats, especially the older ones.

I post again the Trofast which I was told means "trustworthy". This is very important in anything that floats. I had just gotten a Pearson 26 and ran across a fellow who had had one for 12 years. I asked him about his. "She'll always get you home" he said. The finest words to hear of anything that floats. I was sailing on San Francisco Bay where getting home has special import.
And here, again, is this lovely "Trustworthy" taken with an M9 + Cooke Amotal just at dawn. The bright thing by the mast is the yard light not the sun.

Very nice boat! I would just like to comment on the translation of the Norwegian word "trofast", the correct translation is faithful.

Another good reason to be on this board. There are so many people who know more than I do and are willing to share it. And you are right, it is a sweet one. I seem to have a weakness for boat tail sloops. Here is the final one, the ever lovely Iona. She had a new owner when I took this. And he was getting her shipshape to sail out into the Pacific and take a left. I wonder if he did. The hard part would be getting across the Columbia Bar. Anyway, here is Iona in reduced format with a link to her in a full image.

Just getting out into a rare sunny day and making my usual rounds. The Cassandra Anne is homeported here and from the nets I would guess she has been out for Hake AKA Whiting. This is not a high nutrition fish like cod and is often made into surimi the artificial King Crab that is commonly seen. Moored before the Cassandra Anne is the Great Northern, also homeported in Astoria, set for crabbing for Dungeness, a good eating crab.
This pic was taken with a Hasselblad X2D with the XCD 55V 55mm f/2.5 lens. It works out to about a 43mm f/2.0 35mm equivalent. I love the color and image quality. HB color science is good. No, I am not objective.
Size reduced in GIMP. F/2.5, ISO 64, SOOC other than size reduction.

Wandering around the boatyard at the Astoria West Mooring Basin and I came across this boat, far from home. "The name's so nice they say it twice." M240, CV 40mm F/1.2 @ f/5.6.

Wandering on the way home tonight with the LLL "Elcan" on the M9. This first one is not quite in focus so do not enlarge it. ;o) But i like the light and the shapes.

Same time, same place, the name says it all. Elcan again. These are slow shutter speed shots and no IBIS so there is blur.

Again, same time, same place, same camera and same lens. Low shutter speed, some blurring.

Eye of the Wind
A brigantine rigged sailing ship
At anchor somewhere in the Solomon Islands Circa late 1980's.
Possibly off the north coast of Guadalcanal (I cannot now recall).
Somehow when I look at this picture I am always reminded of the poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson. A bit maudlin I know , but there you go, I must be in a sentimental frame of mind.
"Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar."
