Great ERR Photos

I just looked at our friend Alison Langley’s website, and found a slideshow of fantastic photos shot during the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta.  These are well worth a look, even if you don’t care a whit about boats– they are just beautiful examples of the photographer’s art.  Full of life, action, glittering water, and brilliant spinnakers.  Check it out: http://www.langleyphoto.com/view/slideshow/27

The Bequia crew deals with disappointment

Well,yesterday was not a good day.  Before the start, we managed to roll up the spinnaker halyard in the jib, and broke the forestay.  The very expensive, carbon fiber forestay.  So that’s the end of our racing.
