On the bigger boats the risk of tipping is a lot less; competent crew tend to make up for the mistakes of the incompetent (like me).<br /><br /><B>Kris</B> - I like how that one turned out myself. I'm contemplating converting it to either a b&w or a sepia. Because I shot it through a telephoto lens (that baby was way out there) there's enough grain in it to give it a good, almost historical look. Check back in a few days; I might post it in a separate entry.<br /><br />Hi <B>Arleen</B>! I'm heading over to your blog now; I just saw the notification that you have a new entry up.<br /><br /><B>Silver Fox</B> - I'm just an unreconstructed old folkie. I was around and playing (guitar) and singing when songs like that were hitting the airwaves, so on some subjects those songs are what pop into my head.<br /><br /><B>Megan</B> - Absolutely do learn to sail; it's a lot of fun and a great way to cool off on a hot day.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22689800.post-30485892896653949812009-05-07T22:50:00.000-04:002009-05-07T22:50:00.000-04:00I'm running out of adjectives for your photos.

Hey Aniko!! Welcome to Blogger!...Thanks everybody!<br /><br />Hey Aniko!! Welcome to Blogger!<br /><br />Holly, the top two shots are on Narragansett Bay, but the big shot is on the ocean off Brenton Point.<br /><br />Debo, all those boats are equipped with utility engines, so if the wind dies it's no big deal.<br /><br />Ronda, the third shot is my favorite, too. That was taken during last year's Classic Yacht Regatta. It was pretty windy that day, and that boat was hull down and moving <I>fast</I>. Heh, heh! I'll be willing to bet the crew was hanging on for dear life.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22689800.post-62068393502296314682009-05-07T14:12:00.000-04:002009-05-07T14:12:00.000-04:00Very nice post, great combination for a tough them...Very nice post, great combination for a tough theme!Wings1295https://www.blogger.com/profile/08045644215235749353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22689800.post-5832368898660681702009-05-07T13:46:00.000-04:002009-05-07T13:46:00.000-04:00Your ladies are beautiful!
