Photographs make great holiday gifts, and we want to help you get a head start on your shopping and save some money at the same time.
We captured some excellent sailing this summer! The light winds of 2009 were replaced by good breezes in 2010, and the sailing seemed a lot more intense this year as well. Sailing photos remind us of those warm summer days and the great times chasing the wind. Boat owners: thank your crew for their efforts with a photo of them hard at work. Parents: show your pride in your kids’ accomplishments with a shot of them on the water. Spouses: imagine the delight your husband or wife will feel when he or she sees that shot of themselves working the bow, trimming the sails, or helming the boat. A great action shot makes a once-in-a-lifetime gift.

A Small Craft Advisory and six foot seas did not deter the fleet of Flying Scots, one designs, and PHRF boats sailing in the 2010 Avalon Cup. In fact, the rolling waves and ENE winds set the stage for a terrific regatta.
After slowly pounding our way north from Cape May to Avalon (the 13 mile trip took more than an hour), we connected with the race committee and the fleet of a dozen Flying Scots who had endured a harrowing trip out of Townsends Inlet. Sailing a windward-leeward buoy course, the Scots were easily lost in the troughs of the large swells rolling in from the east. Undaunted, the sailors raced their boats hard and put on an impressive performance.
Shortly thereafter the larger boats crossed the start line and, after sailing upwind for a short distance, fell off to a broad reach for the downhill run to Cape May. With a nice breeze and big rollers on the quarter, the boats in the spinnaker class took off like race horses and we had to work to keep up. The wind and seas began to settle down as the afternoon progressed, but still the fleet had a fast run south and the boat winning line honors, the J105 Maxed Out, crossed the finish less than three hours after the start.
The big waves and nice made for great photo opportunities, and we were able to capture all of the fleet as they raced. A full gallery of our images can be found at michaelbagleyphoto.shutterbugstorefront.com.
