LIFE ABOARD A SAILBOAT

Anastasia anchored in South Beach Miami.

The famous bell aboard Anastasia, bell that I always used while sailing in the foggy days.

A nighttime view of the Port of Miami from aboard Anastasia.

My first year aboard Anastasia, anchored at the Miami Yacht Club.

Some wonderful Canadians, guests anchored overnight at the Miami Yacht Club, on their way to Bahamas.

One thing I always loved aboard the boat, was to enjoy every single sunset like it would be the last one I see.

One of the ugliest and strongest storms were those during the hurricane season. I couldn't sleep much thanks to them, but I sure felt alive.

I've always been my own hair stylist aboard the boat. Cold days means longer hair, hot days means hair trimming.

Having a clean deck and a clean boat was very important to me. For this, every evening I used to clean everything "by the book".

A quick portrait before my voyage to Cuba. I was testing some lens that I was planning on using to film the documentary of the voyage.

My usual dinner aboard Anastasia. My all time favorite meals on the boat.... the special French fries on a boat.

I think this was the most known happy face I used to have when aboard the sailboat. So known people used to ask if I'm ok if I didn't make this face in the photos.

A farewell present from a nice fishermen friend in Nassau Bahamas at the end of my last contract on cruise ships. At least that's what I thought at that time.

I found that having a clean deck was really great while sailing. I tried to keep that deck about the same also while at anchor.

One portrait before my voyage to Cuba, very tired after a long day of preparations.

Just my view while getting some rest after my morning swim around the boat while anchored at the Miami Yacht Club.

Just normal engine maintenance aboard Anastasia. I think this was sometime in my first week aboard.

Not all days are easy on a sailboat. But after every storm, same as in life, there is always a rainbow coming out.

Konstantin and Elena, the older owners of Anastasia. Really wonderful people and amazing friends as well.

Relaxing aboard during the weekend. But only in the morning, as the afternoons were too crazy to stay aboard.

I won't lie to you, but I've always used to day dream aboard Anastasia, about sailing around the world alone.
