Whoosh Tour - Pictures

Welcome aboard for a short tour of WHOOSH...
Anchored on the 'back side' of Hauhine Is., Society Islands., French Polynesia	We've taken these pictures just after completing our Pacific crossing from Florida via the Panama Canal to Brisbane, Australia...and right before flying back to the USA for a visit. (Thus, the duffles on the V-berth...)
This is almost 11 years after we left St. Pete, Florida on her initial shakedown run, and she's now 31 years young. As you can see, our Pearson 424 has the original one-head + shower & U-shaped galley layout. As you 'walk about', topside and below, you might keep in mind that this has been our principal home all during that period, including two full London winters and while cruising throughout Europe and also the Caribbean & Pacific islands - from frigid water to tropical water environments - and that she's now carried us about 30,000 NM over more than a decade. We mention this to reflect on how versatile and suitable she's proven to be, for a two-handed crew at sea and in widely varied climates. She's turned out to be a far better choice for our cruising adventures than we had any notion of when originally buying her.
