Yacht Club Sailing Races


NOTE TO SAILORS:
Hi Sailors and Racers, I have some amazing shots of you as you race around the bay here. Until I figure out a better way to get the shots to you, you can reach me at the email listed on my profile page here and I will send you the shot if I have a good one and if you give me your sail number or your child's sail number. Later on I will upload them to a web page for you to browse through. I still have a lot of the Canadian Optimists Sailing Championship photos if any one is interested in a snap. This photo above is of the recent Fall Championships...I may have a few hundred of those photos also. If you have any ideas on how to set up a way to get the photos to you, you could leave a comment for me also as anyone can comment. ( This is not a commercial site and I am not a professional.)


This post is for That's My World ..you can find so many more wonderful posts from around the world there.

A big hellooooo to all my past blogger readers, I miss you all and I will return soon, I have been just reading your blogs all summer and enjoying them very much. Cheers.

I am sorry that I dont go blog visiting often, been so busy especially end of year. The photo looked so good and the water looked so blue. Love the colours of the racing boat. Have a nice day.

Great shot! So evocative of a fine, sunny day on the water and I can hear the waves lapping as the yachts sail by!

What a delightful photo of the racers. I find sailboats to very graceful as they glide across the water.
Thanks for stopping by...

Hello! Good to see you online again!

Very beautiful shot, and a very generous offer.

Erin said...

like this shot...you did a great job with it.

one way you could post more is to do it through a SLIDER show. i have not tried that but, you can do a lot of them and people can peruse them each and every one.

have a wonderful week.

hugs

Thats nice of you to send people their photos - boats (hmm, are these really boats?) are so satisfying to photograph!

My husband would love one of those small sailboats to use on our lake. He's been looking for one to buy, but there aren't any for sale in our area yet. I invite you to come visit Old Fairhaven in Washington State. - Margy
