Your sailing photos are so colorful! I love them.
Boy does that bring back memories! I grew up on Balboa Island - back then it was Sabots and Lido 14's! I think it was a Luder that made my heart go pitter-pat!!
What a delightful day! You've captured it perfectly for us to enjoy. I can just feel the fresh breeze on my face and smell the salt air. Umm...
