Captain Dan's Fleet Of Sailboats-Part 2

About a month ago, I posted about my fleet of sailboats that I have owned over the last 45 years (Captain Dan's Fleet Of Sailboats). What gave me the idea for the earlier post was that I found old photographs of my earlier boats. I scanned the photos and attempted to clean up the files to make them presentable. I printed the scanned photos off at 8 X 10 inches and framed them with frames purchased at Goodwill. I also printed some of my favorite photos of my most recent boat (Great White) that were already in digital format.

I spend a lot of time in my home office (some people might consider this my "man cave", but my whole house is my "man cave"), so I thought that this was an appropriate place to hang these photos along side and above my "ego" wall. Most people will agree that I lack artistic abilities, but I think the way I am presenting these photos is classy, although somewhat casual. Since I bought my frames at Goodwill, very few match. I felt that this was sort of highlighting the various eras that these boat represent.

While I was working on these photos, I also undertook an ambitious project to scan the several hundred slides that I took during a couple of extended cruises to northern Canada in the mid and late 1980's. That will be the subject of a future post.
