We said goodbye to our Chaumont Yacht Club ambassadors this morning…
 

 

 
….and headed westward under full sail.

 

 
On the advice of one of the club members,
we headed to the Henderson Bay Atoll.
…We quickly found the perfect spot,
and for the first time since buying R.E.D.
three years ago
we did something I have been dying to do…

 

 

 

 

 

…we beached her…

 

 

Francois released 150′ of anchor rode

to secure the bow…

 

 

 
 
…then ran another 50′ to the shore…

 

 

 

 

…all safe for the night…

 
 
 
…we walked along the beach at sunset…

 

 
 
 
…the bay was ours alone…
 
…pure heaven!…
 
 

Question…
…but how is it that Captain looks better in my sarong than I do?
