With 20 knots from the North on the heels of a cold front today, conditions were perfect on the South end of Tampa Bay for everybody but A Cats. Only one A Cat lasted all morning and no races were held for the class. Most of the high-performance cat sailors made a decision not to go out before breaking any gear or having serious wipeouts.The 505s, on the other hand, were loving life (and breaking a little bit of gear and having a few serious wipeouts).
It was a great day for photos, and we really like the silhouette photos taken into the bright sun. When you take as many as 5000 photos a week, something different is really nice...
Check out the sequence below, caused by a big wave from a container ship's wake.
Hopefully Mike doesn't mind us posting this. He was not the only one who hung out in the water today.
