Hard to believe it's nearly Thanksgiving but we are still busy with lots of trips to shoot both stills and video. The first one is a lifestyle shoot with our friends on the 125-foot Cheoy Lee, Namoh, in the Florida Keys. We went to Maine with Captain Greg Emerson a couple years ago and got a taste of luxury cruising from a passenger's perspective though, of course, we shot lots of photos.

Next, we're off to Tortola to shoot Milk & Honey, a 125-foot Palmer Johnson for another favorite skipper, Kenny Tassin. Several years ago we shot Gatster in the Bahamas with him and had a great time. After that we're off to the Antigua charter show.

Sometime in January we head south with the boat on the trailer trying to dodge snow storms and get to Key West before Race Week.

Earlier in the summer we teamed up with Dennis Caprio of Yachting magazine to shoot some photos and video for a story on a 1933 built 62' Classic William Hand Motorsailer in Freeport, Maine. We had a beautiful, calm morning for shooting the almost completely rebuilt 70 year-old vessel. Keep an eye out for the story in an upcoming issue.

We're looking forward to another trip to the Caribbean to shoot a new charter brochure for our friends on the 117-foot Holland Jachtbouw sloop, Whisper, and our friend Raul Bermudez is working with MarineMax to start a charter division. We hope to do some shooting for him in the BVIs.

We're following several build projects but the most exciting is a Farr 63 Stanley Paris is building at Lyman-Morse in Thomaston, Maine. Stanley's goal is to be the oldest person to sail singlehanded, nonstop around the world and plans to be 77 years old when he sets out.

Congratulations to our friends at Carbon Ocean Yachts & Rogers Yacht Design for S/Y Aegir winning "Best Sailing Yacht" in the 24-40m catagory by the International Superyacht Society's 2011 Design & Leadership Award! We had a great time following the construction of this vessel, and agree that the award was well deserved. You can check out a few videos of the vessel being constructed in our videos section.

Our boat search is ongoing but in the meantime we've got some new Raymarine electronics we can't wait to use.
