Marion to Bermuda Race start photos

And they're off...another Bermuda Race got underway this afternoon in foggy conditions on Buzzards Bay. See the photos here.

About 45 boats crossed the start line four miles off of Marion, Massachusetts today on the heels of quite a weather system. Rain and fog lingered; it was by no means a pleasant morning, as it had been in Westport, CT when we left at 7 am. On the way out of the harbor, two powerboats took a look at Allen in the dinghy and told him he'd best turn around. That would have been a waste of a 3-hour drive. Presumably, it was the chop in 15-20 knots and opposing current that they were warning against, but that's exactly what we were hoping for.

The photos are exciting. Check them out at the PhotoBoat Regatta Gallery
