    I took these pictures of Hosanna Leaving Hillsboro Inlet in less than perfect conditions earlier this year. She is one of the new Viking 74 convertibles. Enjoy the pictures:)

    Rob,
    Welcome to the Forum.
    Cool shots. I'm guessing you didn't venture out behind it. You know, it's only sloppy around the inlets. lol

    Thanks for the welcome Tom!

    As for the going out behind him part I decided to keep myself in the inlet on that particular day.lol

    But I have fished off Singer Island in 15' seas on a 56' sport fish and that is always alot of fun!

    You notice that the guy didn't just blast out... they look, in fact, very tentative.

    Nice photos, Rob, and welcome to YF.

    Too bad they won't be using any of your pics for the brochure :rolleyes:

    Maybe the folks at Dramamine might want to use a few of them for their packaging.

    Hosanna at Night

    I spotted this beauty all lit up at night in the marina at Atlantis, Nassau the week of 7/27. Wasn't sure of the size until I saw her here...

    Yup! Common practice for experienced Captains. Read the inlet/waves before making a commitment.
