twilight races

the wednesday twilight races 
a howling westerly
   

a special place with a perfect view


voices in the wind


feeling the exhilaration like i'm sailing with them


remembering my dad in this place
sailing with mates


silver sunset


flying 


free







& the twilight swimmers in sync

    You have captured the exhilaration of sailing in your photos...it's almost as if I was heeling right along with them. I close my eyes and I can hear the snap of the sails and the clink of the halyards...feel the spray of the water on my face...You have transported me to another time...

    Early in our marriage, my husband and I were avid sailors. Our favorite time of day to sail was twilight...When we lived in Orlando (FL), a group of us would meet every Wednesday evening for a twilight sail in the intracoastal at Cocoa...then we'd cookout on the beach. It was a magical time of our lives.

    Thank you so much for sharing...

    Gorgeous! I cannot wait to send my husband to your site....he just took off in our sailboat for a 3 month long cruise! We have sailed in many races just like these and I can honestly say it's the most freeing feeling in the world!! Love your blog!

    Those high masts and huge sails just amaze me! Speaking as a non-sailor who can't really imagine navigating a boat like that.
