HMB Endeavour pics

[Craig]

I thought y'all might like to know that I've started uploading my pics from my time sailing HMB Endeavour across the Gulf of Carpentaria. There are some very nice images there; I'm quite happy with the shots I got on that trip...

Thanks for sharing, Craig.

The photo with the cruise liner definitely provides perspective on size.

[Comte de Brueys]

Nice album.

Those are really good pictures, Craig. The ones from the top of the mast made me appreciate what danger the 'topmen' faced.

Interesting pics!

Great photos! What type of camera were you using?

Did I see stuns'l booms in the picture (#12) of the topmen furling the main course?

Amazing pics! I really envy those of you able to do that work from way up there. I had to give up my sailing dreams (at least scale them back to a much smaller scale) due to that.

I was using my old (~10 years) Olympus µ Tough; it's the ruggedised waterproof version of their standard compact digital.

And yup, those are stuns'l booms. We did have the stuns'ls set for a day or two in the middle of the run.
