One nice thing about this new board is how easy it makes posting photos. Just attach the file below by browsing your computer. Feel free to show off a few of your favorite photos from this summer under sail.—Eds

Ok, these pictures are not from this summer, but from this past January and February when I sailed through the Keys for a month.

a few of this summer's travels (and if more days like 5 oct '10 happen there may be a few more this season!):

Great pictures on this thread, many from the PNW. Well, so are these images of our Sea Sprite 23. Summer 2010.



The Carl Alberg designed Sea Sprite on a mooring near Doe Bay, Orcas Island. This amazing little 23 footer has the rare quality of sporting a visual appeal often attributed to much bigger vessels. Off course you don't get anything for free, and the flip side of these aesthetics is limited room below. Limited, but not too small.


The crew busy on a rare warm day.


Evening below, in our cold cruising water, result in regular donning of wool caps and early insertion in the bags.


After slowly sailing thru the narrow Pole Pass, in the process holding up 2 or 3 massive powerboats, the wind came back for a beautiful evening cruise. Here Bjorn is successfully solving yet another navigational enigma, using pilot book and compass.


Good sailing, again. The dreaded summer time calms evaded us for many stretches of our 17 day cruise.


The tug boat traffic surrounding us inspired some surprisingly effective attempts of our own. Our previous cruising boat did not respond well to such antics.


Luxurious accommodations in these here Sprites

Gorgeous boat in a gorgeous environment Jan. Though I admit to being prejudiced as the owner of one and perhaps soon two Alberg designed boats.

Wow Jan,,,,beautiful pictures and great looking boat! My wife and I have made a few trips to your neck of the woods and LOVE it! Hope to get up there next June for a couple of weeks. Thanks for posting those pics. I was not familair with the Sea Sprite. I will look for them now!
