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.

ease

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.

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.
