French Polynesia 1983



During our year aboard the good ship Homer we logged over 9800 miles in Pacific waters, had no electricity, no satellite navigation, no computers, no digital cameras, but we did have scenery.   
Call this my Skywatch Friday (revisited).  This is for all of you cold bloggers who seem to be dreading the fast approaching winter season.   French Polynesia in 1983


Tuomotos with Homer in the background



Tahiti




Raiatea


Moorea


Huahine


 Bora Bora


These are just a few of the slides that were taken with an old Pentax then later processed into photos and finally scanned...so pardon the quality...but you get the idea!  If life on board a sailboat interests you please check out my previous blog... Have a nice weekend!

    Well the quality is beyond excellent and the photography is superb.
    I still have my trusty Pentax cameras, they go out with me when the conditions would not be suitable for digitals.

    These are beautiful beyond words.
    What a wonderful year this must have been for you, along with great adventures.

    My favorite mule is Jenny and she is 22 years old.
    She is a safe mule. She was my husband's mule and he was a double amputee. She took such good care of him. Since his death I have been riding her. She is totally different now and has turned into a gaming mule. She is so competitive. Who knew.

    I like the scenes you have shown today. But I also like the hillbilly mountains of West Virginia and places like that. If I had to spend money to go somewhere it would be close to home. lol

    Nothing around here compares to your scenes though.
