    These pics are for my frosty friends in the northeastern US who had to endure another bout of cold, icy, snowy days. Spring is on the way, so let these shots warm the cockles of your hearts, and that your cruising days will be soon upon you (as soon as those icebergs melt). BTW, these were taken St Patty's morning, with a cool north wind around 68-70 degrees.
    Enjoy!

    Pic 1 - Pelicans in formation
    Pic 2 - Under the bow
    Pic 3 - Port side of that bow (yacht pulled up close so you had to just about walk under the bow

    Pic 4 -Annie O - Not sure of the make, but neat looking with the blue trim
    Pic 5 - A clear Palm Beach morning

    Is that the former "Honey Fitz" built by DeFoe?

    GREAT PICS! Thanks Capt Tom!

    She's flying a Grosse Pointe Yacht Club burgee. That was probably good a clue, right Viking 58?

    Don't thinks it's "former" as she is still called Honey Fitz.
    Here are a few shots from a previous visit.

    CaptTom,

    Just wanted to thank you for the awesome pics. After being teased up here with 65 degree weather for a few days we got dumped on with snow over the weekend. (My fault since I took the shrink wrap off last Wednesday) These pics came at just the right time.

    To CaptainSilva, SeaEric and everyone else, you are welcome. I used to be one of those guys living up north counting the days to spring and the thaw. Was always eager to get the cover off the boat until one year when it snowed again. Just my little way of trying to ease your pain.
    Brandon, looks like you'll get the jump on me as I won't be there until Saturday, so post away.

    Thanks CaptTom.
    The pelican formation pic warmed me up and put a grin on me.

    -6 and blowing like a, well, it's blowing really hard. Enough said.
    Again thanks.

    The Light stanchion on the Ferretti is just a neat photo of a single element.
    Keep 'em coming.

    Yes, the Pelicans were nice to see.
    Here we just have some blue birds flying people to and from the islands during wintertime. It was snowing again today...:(

    Codger,
    You can have that weather. Spent over 40 years with New York winters, that was enough (and not even as bad as you up north).
    AMG,
    How long is your summer season? Hope you don't count it in weeks.

    Here's another pelican shot. With the wind out of the north, the sky was absolutely clear blue. Usually there is some cloud formation in the mornings, not this day.

    We used to say that last summer was on a wednesday. But it isn´t that bad anymore thanks to the global warming...;)

    Sweden is a long country, if you swing it around so the north part should be south, it will reach to Rome in Italy. So we have several climate zones.

    In the capital Stockholm, the winter is soon over and summer is between june and september, with the warmest period from mid july to late august. Much like southern Europe, but around 20-30° instead of 30-40°C.

    For boat lovers, it is long enough and I think we have among the highest number of boats per capita in the world.

    So next weekend it is time to start the varnishing and polishing again...:)

    I've got some recent pics from Palm Beach. This is the first time I've seen "Ohana" in quite a while. She was built in the late 90's by Admiral.

    First time I've seen this boat around our coordinates, this Kuipers Doggersbank was in town for the Palm Beach Show. This is "Maverick"...

    While passing by a canal, I caught a glimpse of a large Hatteras, so I turned around, went down the canal and found "Sunday Money". Docked at the same house was "Intimidator". Those are your clues. Can you guess who this is?

    I didn't get the name on this because I was distracted by a bikini on another boat. Hey, I've got my priorities...
