    Took a few shots of the scenery while out on a sea trial on a Norseman 560. It's Fleet Week in ft Lauderdale so a handful of naval ships are in, and the air/sea show is this weekend (can't make it so someone else will have to take the photos, Brandon?).

    Photo 1 - Feadship Utopia
    Photo 2 - Navy ships with Daybreak
    Photo 3 - Might Mouse - a long way from home
    Photo 4 - Excellence III - birthing at her berth?
    Photo 5 - Trinity Marlena

    Loren,
    I was on a new 56 Norseman with Bob from Encore Yachts doing a sea trial for a magazine article. The Norseman has some neat hidden features, and the ride was comfortable as it gets up over 20 kts. You'll have to wait for the story for the details.

    Rumor has it that Excellence III may be on the block as a new one is being built. Anyone confirm?
    While we're waiting, enjoy a few more shots.

    Photo 1 - Gazelle, always a favorite with that arch
    Photo 2 - Pier Pressure - is that a Donzi?
    Photo 3 - Yacht and clouds - just a neat pic taken outbound at Port Everglades (ocean was glass flat)
