This was our view for three days when we arrived in Bermuda. It's the Royal Naval Dockyard. If you see the Red and Black. In 2017 Bermuda hosted the American Cup. This was the boat that was used in this race. Sadly, the USA lost 7 of 8 races against the New Zeeland.

One of the places my wife and I wanted to go is Bermuda. So we took a cruise out from New York to Bermuda. Once we arrived in Bermuda, our ship for 3 days was used for our hotel. On our first day, we spent the day at Horseshoe Bay. One of their most popular beach and popular was right. We arrive at about 9 am to be greeted in a line for about 30 minutes to get chairs, an umbrella, and, yes, water. Once on the beach, it is beautiful.
Horseshoe Bay
This beach is known for its pink sand. I have to be honest, I did not see it, but maybe it is because of the morning. There were two areas on the beach. I call the calm area and the wave pool. The water was crystal clear and so lovely in temperature. By afternoon this area was wall to wall with people.

On our second day, we went for a ride around the island. We hired a person for $50.00 per hour to take us around the island. What an island. We did not see an area of litter or rundown. The people are very friendly and very proud of their island. I have some memories of the next time we go where I would like to spend some time. We went from one side of the island to the other and back. You know you are somewhat tropical because you even hit a rain shower now and then.

On the 3rd day, we had a half day. We stayed on the ship because Bermuda has a national holiday and time to celebrate. Big Crickets tournament. If you want to go to this island, be prepared to spend some money, but it will be well worth it—a lovely place, and now it's time for the next location.

I love to travel and all of the places I have been to. Most of those have been on vacation—most of the time, it's on a cruise when I am on vacation. When you cruise and arrive at the islands and take a tour, it's not in the so call best light. Take, for example, the island of TORTOLA in the Caribbeans.

My wife and I signed up for an excursion to one of their popular beaches. We are in a van and heading to the beach, looking out the window. Taking what was given me, I was able to pull off some pictures that I felt summed up the island.
The Beach
While not in ideal conditions, I took pictures that I liked. I always want to take something that is not a snapshot. Maybe someday, we may go back and spend time on this island and get those pictures that we all love. Sunrise and Sunset. Until then, I will enjoy the vacation and what I love. Photography.
Rain in the tropics
It’s been some time since I have placed a post. I have been busy with things I can’t publish yet, and yes, I took some time off to enjoy our first cruise since 2019. We had a great time and lots of exciting pictures.
While waiting for my wife to get ready for the evening, I watched this tug watching us and thought I could use this picture. I love the way the water splashed over the boat. Then I wanted to find a saying that would match the scene. Yes, we got back to a few challenges—nothing new. But as the phrase say, Life goes on. So true.
Vacation time for a photographer means time to shoot different things. While down in Sanibel, I decided to spend time videoing Pelicans and put the story together. After about 8-10 hours every day for 5 days, watching out and learning from these birds. I had the info I wanted for this documentary. Here is my story of the Pelican. I like to do something with Dolphins. Saw them, but only the fin. Maybe next vacation.
