Bluewater’s Big Cruise Gallery

It is often said that couples who play together, stay together. My parents, for example, have been happily married for nearly 40 years. And while it would be a gross overstatement to claim that it was only shared hobbies that kept their marriage afloat, it certainly hasn't hurt that they both love to travel and are rabid Yankees fans.

About 50 people were in the rally, with all nine boats stopping in Bermuda.

A vintage, low-angle historical photograph of a military Patrol Boat River (PBR) cruising through choppy river water. The dark, camouflage-painted combat vessel features a rounded black hull with a red bottom, kicking up a white water spray from its hull. Soldiers wearing military helmets and gear are visible on board, with a crewman stationed at the helm beneath a black canvas canopy structure equipped with antennas and a radar unit. An American flag flies prominently from the stern, and a machine gun mount is positioned at the back of the vessel under an overcast sky.

Still in Service

A scenic, eye-level perspective looking down a busy historic canal waterway in Amsterdam. Long, traditional houseboats line both sides of the canal banks, some featuring lush container gardens and potted plants on their roofs. The water reflects the cloudy sky above. Dense rows of vibrant green trees frame the canal, partially shading cobblestone streets, brick townhomes, parked bicycles, and a cafe terrace on the right. In the distance, a low arched bridge spans across the water under an overcast, dramatic sky.

Country of Close Encounters

A close-up, high-angle view of the bow of a luxury motor yacht moored on calm water. The bow features highly polished, varnished mahogany wood decking with a stainless steel bow rail, a prominent chrome anchor mounted at the stem, and two braided blue dock lines stretching diagonally across the frame.

Eat. Cruise. Repeat.

A close-up, selective-focus shot of a black marine compass dial illuminated at night. Bold white numbers indicate bearings for 300, 330, and 0 (North), with a yellow arrow symbol pointing toward the North marker beneath a bright reflection on the glass.
