The Regatta is here

P1100837

The Heineken Regatta that is. Oh as if you didn't know what I meant.

We watched the first race, Round the Island, from home. There was a ton of wind. We saw several boats with spinnakers doing the same thing as the photo above - this one was zipping right along and then they seemed to catch a bad angle, the spinnaker lost all its wind and flapped like a wild thing. From where we were sitting we could hear the sound of it so it must have been deafening on the boat.

You can see the rest of the pictures I took here.

Pretty! By the way, thank you for putting spider in the title of that post. because sometimes i'll steel myself to see what nasty things lie beyond the gibber warning, but when I saw Big Spider, i said HELL NO! So, I haven't looked at it. And I won't. All praise the gibber warning!!! :)

Thanks Gibber - yeah, actually I don't think there is any benefit to you looking at it so I am glad you caught it!

I actually had a friend use the gibber warning in a post he did about disgusting foods, I'd send you there but am not sure you'd want to look at it. I thought it was hilarious that he used it, soon it will rule the universe!!!!!! >> add megalomaniacal laughter here <<
