The best thing about sitting on the bow of our boat Brise (which is French for breeze) when we are motoring is the absence of engine noise - all there is to hear is the rush of the water going under the nose of the boat and sound the trade winds in the rigging.

Here, my brother-in-law Scott D enjoys the morning sun as we motor towards Sandy Cay, our first stop on the third day of sailing the British Virgin Islands.
