This is the story of our sailing adventures aboard Epicurus, a 62-foot Deerfoot sailing vessel. We are the Brown family--Peter, Sherri, Katya and Matthew. (You can click on the photos to enlarge them. Most posts are by Sherri, not Peter.)

Pictures of the boat.

People have been asking for more pictures of the boat so here are lots, both outside and in.

Epicurus docked in Trinidad.  All hatches are open because it was hot.  All fenders are out because some of the time we were being blown hard onto the dock.

Early morning and the kids are still asleep in the forward cockpit, the most comfortable place to sleep on a passage.

Easy sailing.  The instruments show we're doing 6.7 knots with just the two headsails (the mainsail was ripped).  The wind is blowing 16 knots aft of the beam.
This one didn't get away.

With the Rudd boys, tidying lines in the aft cockpit.

Matthew and Desmond locked in battle.  This is over the Bahama banks and the sea is flat.  I think we were sailing, not motoring.

Epicurus anchored behind Wind Horse, the Dashew's new boat, at Big Major's Spot, Bahamas.

The Nav. Station.  The computer is the chart plotter.

The settee forward of the nav. station.

I'm playing YuGiOh! with Katya and Matthew.  There's lots of room at the table.

This is the forward head with shower and tub.  We mostly use the shower on the swim step.

This is our cabin with a good sized double bed.

Again, looking forward this time.

This is looking aft at the companion way and galley.

More detail of the galley looking aft.  It's well laid out with lots of storage space and a double sink.

Aft of the galley are the washer and dryer and the microwave.  The door in the background is to the aft head.


The aft head.

Matthew's cabin.

Katya's cabin.

It's hard to get a picture of the aft lazarette.  This picture does show the massive rudder stock but not much else.

The forward lazarette has lots of space for lines, sails and anchor rode.  It is looking full in this picture because the new mainsail is down there, waiting for the battens to arrive so we can actually use it.

The engine and water heater.

Last, the work bench in the engine room.  Behind it is the water maker, to the right the air conditioners and underneath the refrigeration compressor and the generator.

I hope that is enough pictures of the boat!
