helping feet
For the Daily Prompt: jolly.
As the sailboats return during a meet, the red paddle boat set out to give a helping tow, just for fun. Quite jolly.
varnish
Varnish makes me think of boats. Wooden boats. We have one group that does not use much varnish: our Kinetic Sculpture racers. Human powered, on land, on sea and through the mud bog. All sizes and shapes and themes. Wonderful!
We have helpers for the teams in the water, and here two kinetic sculptures are making their way to land. The water is a few degrees above 50 and they have to take turns exiting on the ramp. We have Kinetic Kops to protect the public and the racers.
For the Daily Prompt: varnish.
tiller girl
My daughter is sailing FJs in college and racing. She informs me that she hated sailing when she was little, out with my father and me. My father took this photograph, in his Miller 28.
Hated it: well, maybe….
night
For the Daily Prompt: atmospheric.
neither snow nor rain
For the Daily Prompt: dubious.
I stand on the shore, dubious, while the teams launch out into the sleet.
The older generation worries while the young set forth and explore.
hot swap
This is the hot swap at the regatta at Lake Whatcom last Sunday: where the boats come in, switch teams and all go out again. Fast and furious! I like the symmetry, all lined up.
I am the neophyte photographing sailing.
faint gold
Lake Whatcom on Sunday: there are still gold leaves on the trees, showing in the evergreens and white snow.
For the Daily Prompt: faint.
return in snow
From Saturday, at Lake Whatcom, taken with a zoom in the snow.
fleet
Taken on Saturday. I wanted to capture the lifting cloud with the snowy hill below and the trees still gold and green. And the sailboats returning to switch crews.
