We always have time for friends and this is my all time favorite place to do laundry, get caught up with internet, and last but most importantly visit with my new friends. Violet is one of them, a real sweetheart to, and I wanted to say thanks to her as much as wish Nigel (her hot man who also works here at Whisper Cove) a very 'green' birthday!

Nigel is the landscaper, among other duties, so it was natural to paint a garden around this shy beautiful woman. el Hefe...don't know the translation in French, Gerard, was huffing and puffing and we were hidding like kids because Violet is SHY and on duty. Very camera shy! She was hiding more from Nigel and that's refreshing to see young, fun love.

It took 2 dozen shots for her to "let her hair down" and enjoy the fun.

With all the pictures I take around this place, Violet would still never let me take one of her, not even for her "Mum"....british! But today two days after Nigel's birthday I show up for pictures. I thought Violet was going to cry! She got her hair straightened, had some make up on and said she looked beautiful on Saturday, but now it's Monday. I felt horrible.

After convincing her that she is beautiful, sweet, smart, responsible and nurturing everyday, she forgave me, and let me shoot this! She IS a sweetheart!

Vessel Name: Altair
Vessel Make/Model: Tartan 34'
Hailing Port: Coconut Grove Sailing Club
Crew: Dudley Clark and Becky Butler
About: Dudley has owned this Tartan sloop and has been cruising on her since 1986. Becky joined the good sloop back in 2000 when we first started cruising together and he has been 'training' me ever since! I couldn't be happier! I've been sailing all my life, but cruising is a whole different fish!
Extra: This is the most extended cruise we've braved on this wonderful, old boat of ours which is planned to be about 2 years! We left Miami in late February of 2008 and want to get below the hurricane belt by the end of July! Ok, so it's July, 2011...we're close, but not home yet!
