Helm of "The Spirit of Dana Point"

This Gaff topsail schooner retains an old style helm and compass, but modern navigational aids such as radar and GPS are not only available, but required by law.
The white cylinder in the foreground contains an inflatable life raft.

Wonderful "Mutiny on the Bounty" style helm - but no cover for a storm ! Things could get pretty uncomfortable !! Love the sunny, all's well mood here V

Good deck detail in this one, Walter.

graphically cool, and strong shadows...like the reefed sail across the top..

Great capture of all the fine and interesting details. Wonder if the modern seamen can navigate without the GPS and that kind of stuff? V
