The big fun for non regatta sport fans is to take a ride withthis high speed boat
Spinnakers in many colors are gliding by the Ravanel-Bridge
A breezy sea and Charlestons pretty skyline in the background
It looks for me more like a chaotic sailing than something organized I'm used to see in regattas - I believe, it must have been just the training turn
And why the *heck* is this private yacht searching his way between all those sailing boats? There was enough space all around the boats. Click in the picture to see closer that for me pretty dangerous looking situation.
But after all, it was a great and colorful sports event in front of a wonderful background: The Ravanel Bridge of Charleston. I love regattas!
This reminds me of the "Bol d'Or" regatta on Lake Geneva. But we don't have such a beautiful bridge. But we have the "Jet d'Eau".
ReplyDeleteJa, die weltberuehmte "Jet d'Eau", das Wahrzeichen von Genf...:-) Bin noch nie in Genf gewesen, kannst du dir das vorstellen? Bis Lausanne habe ich es mehrmals geschafft, aber nie weiter.
ReplyDeleteDanke fuer den Kommentar, Peter!
Lausanne ist schöner als Genf. Speziell Ouchy. Und jetzt haben die das erste Metro der Schweiz!!
ReplyDeleteNa super! Der erste Schritt zur Weltstadt, Bravo! Sie schafften es noch vor Zurich, Chapeau!
ReplyDeletewonderful pictures Sue i love watching sailing Boats. That Yacht was very close and very dangerous. Are they blind..
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, thanks for commenting. I think it was more a "power game" between that yacht and the boats...
