Charter Yacht THE DOVE is a 54-foot ocean-going cutter designed by WI Crealock and custom built for Captain Larry in 1988 and lovingly maintained.

Captain Larry and The Dove have many sailing adventures under their keel: the South China Sea to Thailand, across the Indian Ocean to the Cape of Good Hope, across to Brazil, over to the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, above the Arctic Circle in Greenland, south to Patagonia, Cape Horn and twice to Antarctica.

The Dove's teak interior is accented by art and curios from Captain Larry’s voyaging. Two spacious, air-conditioned guest cabins each have queen-sized bunks and ensuite head with high-quality Italian fittings and sumptuous linens. The Dove is excellent for two couples or a family of five or six.

Azores Adventure Charters aboard THE DOVE this summer 2010

We recently received an email from Captain Larry Tyler after his 54-foot charter yacht, THE DOVE made landfall in the Azores.

Charter Yacht THE DOVE, available for adventure charters in Azores this summer

Here's Larry's update:

"THE DOVE has arrived here in Faial, Azores. The trip took 17 days from St Martin. The first 12 days we had little wind and sometimes no wind at all and the little we had was on the nose, so we were forced to sail North to nearly the same Latitude as Bermuda after which we had 5 days of gales which are still blowing now. But we flew along doing 200 miles a day!!!!

"We saw a number of whales, lots of dolphins, many, many Logger Head turtles and thousands of Portuguese Man O'War jelly fish - I love watching them sail over the waves.  Went swimming a couple of times mid Atlantic with the jelly fish and the turtles, I looked up from taking photos of a turtle to find The Dove was slowly sailing away and Jenny had gone down below. I can't even start to imagine what it must be like to fall overboard.

"Great to have arrived though, and not have to try to sleep at 45 degrees. I'm sitting here now at the saloon table checking my emails and listening to the wind outside howling in the rigging of all the yachts that are here while the boat hardly moves. Bliss..."

THE DOVE is available for adventure charters this summer in the Azores.

Azores Adventure!  The Dove is offering eco-adventure charters this summer in the Azores for guests interested in participating in the sailing and experiencing wildlife up close.  Owner / captain Laurence Tyler is offering the very attractive rates of $7,000/week for 4 guests (not each!) and $5,000/week for 2 guests. This rate is inclusive of provisions, standard bar, table wines and marina fees.

I bet that most of you can't say: "Been there, done that, got the T-shirt" :)

Charter Yacht THE DOVE - Cheesecake Recipe

Spotlight on Captain Larry Tyler: owner & captain of sailing yacht THE DOVE (54-foot sloop) and also a trained chef, professional photographer & filmmaker who sailed around the globe on a 35' yacht using celestial navigation. Larry here shares with us one of his secrets for happy, repeat charter guests on THE DOVE!

The Dove Ginger Cheesecake

• 1/2 cup of water
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 1/4 cup of fresh ginger
• Grated zest of one lemon or lime
• 24 ounces (700gm) cream cheese
• 2-3 eggs
• 1/4 cup of heavy cream or yoghurt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• Handful of white raisons soaked in rum for about an hour (optional)

Base / Crust

• 1 cup of Hob-Nobs biscuits
• 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 2 tbs. unsalted butter melted, cooled

Preheat oven to 200 c (375 F). Peel ginger and cut into thin slices and then cut again into thin slivers. With a sharp knife peel the lemon and cut the zest into thin matchsticks. Place ginger, lemon zest, water and sugar into a small pan and bring slowly to the boil, then simmer for 2 minutes and leave to cool and then strain syrup through a sieve, reserving the lemon zest and ginger for the crust. In a large bowl whisk the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium until smooth, add eggs one at a time, cream or yoghurt and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Fold in the sieved cooled syrup until blended and then rum soaked raisins if desired.

Base: break up the biscuits and crush them in a bowl, add the melted cooled butter and mix well with a wooden spoon. Then put mixture at bottom of round baking tin and press hard with spoon or the bottom of a flat glass or mug. Sprinkle the biscuit mixture with the lemon zest and ginger. Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of biscuit base and place in the oven for approx. 45 minutes or until golden brown on top and the centre is still a little wobbly when you move it. Allow to cool and place in the refrigerator for a few hours or over night, serve well chilled.

Note: Cooking time depends on your preference of how moist you like the finished cheesecake. Inserting a knife does not work on this cake. When the cake comes out of oven it will deflate a little this is normal.

Using an 8" (20cm) to 9"(23cm) x 3"(8cm) round baking tin with detachable base is best.

For the base you may also digestive biscuits or ginger snaps. Raisins can omitted, if desired.

Thanks Larry!

The Dove is a 54-foot sloop which accommodates up to four guests in two cabins.
