Learning from the Ocean

Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.

Hi my friends,

it's me again... :)

Daily life here, nothing to much exciting and I have not to much to tell you today, except: THANK YOU for your comments to my post, here and on Facebook too. I'm happy to share my photography with you.

Stay tuned with me - see you tomorrow again, here on this spot!
I'm sending you our hot Florida sunshine! :)

It's Regatta Season in Charleston

The big fun for non regatta sport fans is to take a ride with
this 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!

Rod Stewart - Sailing lyrics

Artist: Rod Stewart



I am sailing, I am sailing,
home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
to be near you, to be free.

I am flying, I am flying,
like a bird 'cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
to be with you, to be free.

Can you hear me, can you hear me
thro' the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever trying,
to be with you, who can say.

Can you hear me, can you hear me,
thro' the dark night far away.
I am dying, forever trying,
to be with you, who can say.

We are sailing, we are sailing,
home again 'cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters,
to be near you, to be free.

Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free,
Oh Lord.
