Bottoms Up
This photo was taken during the October 2009 Whitebread Regatta, hosted by the Peconic Bay Sailing Association in New Suffolk, New York and was sailed in winds up to 30kts. I counted to 130 Mississippi before this Caprie 22, Thing O' Beauty, sailing cruising division righted it's self approximately 1 mile before the finish line of the 38 mile long race. She went on to finish 6th in her class. Although very wet and cold none of the crew were injured.

Hard to recover from here!
Yes that head does belong to the legs, and is still attached via a contorted body. The legs were 4 inches shorter than the day before and so missed the toe straps. Back to normal length now.

Hanging out on the boat
The lake was packed and boats everywhere so I made a pass near the sandbar when a guy pulling kids on a tube stopped in front of me, pushing me in closer to the parked boats.
So I pointed into the wind and held for a bit... but slowly being blown back towards the boats I felt uneasy about my predicament. As soon as I was thinking about jumping off and taking a break the wind shifted , launched the boat into action swinging around and BAMMMM!!!!!!!! Remember to unhook the trap line ! |

Checking the centerboard for weed.
Sometimes I am a little too enthusiastic in ensuring that there is nothing wrapped around the centerboard and slowing me down.

Man catches wife/crew (2010 San Diego NOOD regatta @ MBYC)
Coming to the mark, the crew started moving to the back of the boat and her foot slipped. This is the third to last shot in a 10 shot sequence but this is the best one because the skipper manages to catch her after she skips out of the water. He didn't miss a beat and she was back on the boat and sorted out before it was time to raise the chute.

The perfect spinnaker set
Racing in Hood River OR has certain challenges, getting the set right is usually not one of them.

Diving!
Our annual Turkeybowl race in Sandusky Bay. Gusty shifty winds mostly from the direction we needed to go to get back resulted in some poor jibes.
