A sailing photograph

photograph by Bob McCurdy

At last! I have never had the opportunity to see TERN while under sail. A couple of weeks ago I was sailing in Baileys Harbor when I saw my friend Bob McCurdy coming out of the marina and hoisting his sails. I eased the sheets and headed in his direction. As I passed by I hollered “Bob, if I toss you my camera can you get a few shots of my boat?” “Sure can” he answered “but it sounds like an invitation for disaster.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t hit you,” and I didn’t.

He got this perfect shot, including nice shadows showing the set of the sails. She always has looked pretty to my eye while tied in the slip or sitting in the garage on her trailer for the winter. Now I know she looks great under sail. Thanks, Bob.
