Note the angle of the horizon for an idea of the rock and roll of the boat.

Land-ho.  Grand Turk is sighted.

Former owner/captain of the boat, Bryan Sheedy, watches and smiles at the arrival of the Beachcomber in Grand Turk.
The weather today is wonderful, there is an air of excitement about the boat... few thought they would ever ride on this boat again. Stories of past adventures were traded.  The appearance of Grand Turk and Bryan standing at the dock waiting added to the festive atmosphere!  After docking, Bryan surprised all of us with champagne or mimosa for all on board and a rousing toast to the further adventures of Captain Mike and the Beachcomber.

Captain Mike and Captain Bryan share a toast to the further adventures of the boat.
"In the twelve years I was running The Porpoise, I too had plenty of adventures -- not all of them above the surface of the water -- nevertheless when I saw your crowd on THIS trip, all I could think of was "Better THEM than ME!" - Bryan Sheedy
