This is one of the Black Beard's dive charter vessels, crossing the banks in the warm glow of the setting sun. These vessels operate out of Miami and carry 22 sport divers and four crew on week long dive adventures. They are between 60 and 70 feet and are seriously tough, heavy sloops that are rather short canvassed and motorsail most of the time. Capt. Frank used to run one of these vessels.

The venerable Jungle Queen, plying the waters of the New River, Fort Lauderdale, FL. This is a must do tourist trip, for those seeking must do tourist things. In the background is the new water-front county jail. No kidding, only in Florida would the government elect to build a jail on a multi-million dollar piece of water-front real estate.
