This view takes in a Pacifica sunset with a traditional Polynesian sailing vessel in the distance. This image is from the visit by the Hakulea to the west coast in September of 2023. It makes me smile the Hawaiin name Hokulea roughly translates to “star of joy” … can’t get enough of that!

The Vietnamese Bay of Halong is well known for its 3,000 islands. Traditional wooden junk-style sailboats like this one set the scene beautifully.

Not all of the color in the Santa Cruz Harbor is on the water. Here, I caught up with boats that were in for repairs or beauty treatments.

I chose this view to paint in the Santa Cruz Harbor because the sail was up. As often happens when painting outdoors … things change. Apparently, the sail was up just to make a fix and the work was completed rapidly so the sail came down. Happily I had the basics sketched in and as a bonus the sun came out. I’ll take it and count my blessings the sailboat didn’t sail off while I was painting it.
