The 2009 CYA National Qualifying Regatta for Laser/Laser Radial and 470 classes and 2010 World Youth Team Qualifier was hosted at the Yacht Club over the last four days. They finally got some good wind and excellent fast racing. These are some of the best sailors in the world and they really can put on an amazing show of power over the wind in the little bay. It was exciting and exhilarating to watch as each race was unpredictable with tide, wind and currents changing rapidly. Not being a sailor myself, (can't you tell), I watched carefully from the rocky shoreline, keeping camera and lens nice and dry, and I imagined what it would be like to be one of them and was fascinated.. It was like looking into a window of an unknown and mysterious world....the world of national championship sailing. My camera snapped away and took a lot of photos of it as I sat at the ocean's edge amongst the shorebirds and kelp, bracing against the strong winds. One of the most enjoyable sports I can think of; it is full of shiny boats, pounding waves and whitecaps on a rippled ocean, sails whipping in the wind, and boats quickly turning over, masts breaking and lots of fast action on an icy blue sea. Great fun!
(photos are of some of the winners but everyone who participated at this level is a winner, I have photos available to give to the racers again if they contact me) Cheers to all the My World group of bloggers and have a great day.

Beautiful shots, I especially like the second one with the boats lined up and the mountain behind. Had I been raised near the water I think I would have learned to sail.
so like that second shot with the snow covered mountains in the background and the sailboats...nice capture.
What wonderful photos. The water is so blue! It is fun to watch the sailing and imagine the wind in the hair (imagining is as close as I'd get!).
Beautiful shots - and such a beautiful mountain backdrop!
Janice.
Looks like a fun time at the waterfront.

I R: What a wonderful show, really enjoyed the photos and the backdrop. That was a great place to capture the race.
I can smell that wonderfully blue fresh air!
Sounds like you'd have to be brace to try it - I think I'd prefer to watch!
The white sails are so beautiful against the blue of the water and sky. I can almost feel the action of the boats gliding through the water.
Beautiful captures of the boats, the sea, the sky, and especially the mountains! Great view.
