Adonia departing Miami, Florida, in the Golden Hour. In June 2017, she will return to service with PO, as the Fathom concept proved unsustainable.

I shot this yacht in the USVI in November, 2013, when she was named Lady Lara. Here we were almost two years later and our paths crossed again, but with her under a different name mine is still the same.

Eurocargo Catania at her namesake port.

Croatian Coast Guard B-72 Andrija Mohorovii arriving at Catania as part of the ongoing immigration operation in the Mediterranean.

Skirner arrived as Celebrity Constellation was preparing to depart Catania for Naples. The next day, I saw her arriving in Salerno.

Oceanas Regatta sails out of Halifax in great afternoon light.

My hometown of Houston represented at Bayonne/Cape Liberty.

Zim Beijing has just sailed under the Verazanno-Narrows Bridge with the yet-to-open Freedom Tower looming over Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty just off the bow.

Zim Beijing seemed to have made it under the Verazanno-Narrows Bridge, so I assumed we would, as well Celebrity Summit. Just visible on the horizon is Sea Land Eagle.

Sea Land Eagle, underway. Just to the left of the foremast is Norwegian Breakaway.
