 I sailed on the yacht "Seer" out of Miami to Bimini in the Bahama Islands. Bimini was a famous fishing spot. Heming way's favorite spot.
. The photos #1 and #4 are of the bay in Alice Town, Bimini, taken  from the top of the mast of the Seer, a 62' motor ketch. We were tied up at the dock. Photo #2 is of a 500+lb. marlin at the dock. #3 is me sailing a loose footed Bahama dinghy. I borrowed it from an old salt who lived in Bimini. This was around 1949 or 1950.

1951 - Found the photos of the 83' yacht, "Anstan II". I went on board in City Island, NY after sailing from Palm Beach to Mass. and then back to City Island with Harold Vanderbilt on his 92' Motor sailer, "Versatile." The Anstan II, sailed out of Flushing Boat Basin, Long Island. We sailed the waters off Long Island, until I was drafted into the Army.
