    Apart from the colours and the nautical settings, both of those ships remind me of prisons that I have visited. :D

    Now, that was a shocker! Catching up and scrolling through various threads. Innocently going through this thread and seeing that cruise ship.
    Thought that I read somewhere that Dr Hofmann, the Swiss discoverer of LSD, had passed on. Perhaps not.

    A rather slow start to the Mega-Yacht season up here in the Pacific North West, so I will fill the void with some random boat shots…

    Great captures, especially with the bird and the tortoises. Thank you for sharing these photos.

    Thanks for the photos Outmywindow.
    You really get around town!
    Can you see Washington's Evergreen from there?
    In local news, did you hear about the old Seaspan Chinook sinking at Britannia? What a shame after berthed there for all those years and hadn't been restored.

    Sad about Seaspan Chinook going down, it was a familiar landmark on the way to the Ski Hill, the word is that they will salvage her.
    Hopefully step up the maintenance this time around.

    Nope, I can't see Evergreen from my place, but she' undergoing re-fit.

    MS is one of the nicest ones I've seen. During the summer's "wooden boat festival" you can go aboard and check her out.

    Not sure who the builder of Cowboy is, but she's a nice Explorer Yacht, and ya, they are from Texas.

    Cowboy

    I'm 99% sure that Cowboy was built under the old Cape Horn Trawlers banner. This was the Canadian-based company started by Pete Sever. The company was later sold to the owner of a boat being built by Cape Horn. Cape Horn later closed its doors. Mr. Sever has resurrected the company under the name Cape Horn Expedition Yachts (http://capehornexpeditionyachts.com/) and has based the company in Croatia. Cowboy had a custom fishing cockpit extension added to the standard 65 foot design.

    Do you get many racoons on boats? Or do they just dream about owning babe magnets? :cool:

    I'm sure the unlucky get the odd one, it would be like a Orangutan in your kitchen.
    But with the price of Fuel, I may be shooting more wildlife than Yachts.

    Cowboy may have started a new class of boat; "Expedition/sportfisher"!

    Well Cowboy and Cape Horn may welcome your credit for that title, but Nordhavn certainly has jumped on this idea and literally call their new vessel the Nordhavn Expedition Yachtfisher. She’s 75 feet long and will supposedly have a range of 3,000 to 4,000 miles according to the website. Check out (http://www.nordhavn.com/75/overview.php). According to Nordhavn, “Hull #1 is on schedule for completion in Spring ’08. The first three hulls have been sold. Hull #4 is available at a base price of $4.2 million and will delivery in early 2009.”
