We spent the past two weeks on winter break in the US and British Virgin Islands. A core part of our getaway was a weeklong tour on board the Arabella, a classic styled 180 foot schooner.

The colors in the eastern Caribbean are fantastic. But, I chose to convert this image to a monotone as I thought it best captured the spirit of this classic sailing vessel. A gallery of 41 images from this trip is posted at: http://eruttledge.zenfolio.com/p664582696.
