Leaving it all behind aboard Pacific Dream III, a Riviera 39 Platinum Flybridge, at wide open throttle off Norah Head on the New South Wales coast for an extended trip that included a spot of fishing. Perfectly titled On the Charge to a Break, this photo was submitted by Simon Irwin. “We pushed the levers forward and headed south for a Hawkesbury River cruise in the company of friends. To get out into the open sea and hear those turbos whistling signalled the start of a great week on our Riviera,” says Simon.
The natural splendour of an early morning start was captured beautifully by Brian Stauffer aboard Seaclusion, a 45 Flybridge, with this photo titled Ensenada Sunrise taken while powering homeward from the Ensenada Marina in Mexico. “After taking delivery of our Riviera from yacht transport in Florida and a two-week trip through the Panama Canal, we finally headed north from Ensenada at sunrise to Newport Beach, California,” says Brian.
