As the teams head out to race again, they bail. The boat is leaned deliberately to collect the water and dump it. I love the ease in the stances of both sailors and the teamwork.

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.

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.

My daughter is in the boat pushing off, with her skipper stepping on board.
fleet in sleet
I came to Bellingham yesterday to visit my daughter and watch the Regatta, http://wwusailing.com/regattas/, Western Washington and five other college teams, in the light snow and sometimes sleet.
The main comment I heard about the sleet was “Oh, good, some wind.”
Taken from shore, Nikon Coolpix P510, 42x zoom.
