Using various film cameras in my early self-taught sailing days I was using both slide film and color negative of various types. All are produced here after long storage and then digital scanning with an Epson V600 Perfection. There is a mix of boats here. I am indebted to Prof. Herb Bodman who invited me to crew aboard “Whim”, my very first off-shore sail from Camden, Maine to Deltaville, Va (Chesapeake Bay). We did compass and a speed log of a cork float tied to a 120 foot string thrown overboard using a stop watch to see how fast we went the 120 feet. A #2 pencil and a paper chart does the rest. The vintage boat pictured here was Prof. Herb’s own mentor sailing a 2-masted top-sail schooner having met in Marion, Mass.
