Out on the water again ...

This past Saturday I was out on a Race Committee boat photographing the Lasers Masters Regatta run by Mission Bay Yacht Club.  The races were held out in the ocean (vs in the bay).  We had quite a cold  morning anchored  (second & third photos show the ominous clouds).  The sun finally came out as you can see by the first photo.

The Lasers are a 13' boat, Olympic class dinghy and raced  in local clubs and internationally.  You can follow the link here if you are curious about these boats:  Lasers    This regatta had about 25 boats participate.  The first day was overcast, gray day, just a bit of rain, windy (good!) & swells.   In the morning the bad news was the shifty wind, not good for the race committee because it meant they  had to reset the marks, and not just once!   The swells made for some unusual photographs as you'll see.

View from the Race Committee boat, starting the second race.
The swells made for interesting photography.


Spotted the brown pelican while in the channel heading home.
