Let's continue with the series of images with a vengeance . . at least let's admire the sights and the landscapes. 

 

In fact I'm starting to make a little thought for the next summer holidays. 

 

Goodbye to the next issue, Jack.

Again nice pictures Jack, where are they taken? It does look like an interesting area to visit.

I found the photos on the net, but I believe they are taken on the Vis island, more in detail in front of Comizo.

Regards, Jack.

I finished to restore the images that disappeared thanks to Photobucket. . Now they are (or rather the conditional would be) all visible as before.
I would be grateful if you would like to report any anomalies in the visualization of images, maybe via private message.
Thank you. Jack.

 

I've added other unpublished photos. .

Wow, that looks like so much fun! I love the rig, and imagine they go like a rocket on a broad reach in a blow. I especially like the "Comizo Lisbona" going wing-on-wing on the previous page. Beautiful boats. Simply beautiful.

 

Ciao. John

JackAubrey,

many thanks for the ample and fascinating info on these boats and ships. Great photo collection; not so easy to shoot them under sailing conditions.

Yes, and I agree that the O'Brian naval novels are so enlightening for the era and always worth to re-read them. Each time I find new fascinating details to follow.

best regards

 

Joachim
