Tis the season to look back on the previous 12 months and reflect on the passing of time and all of the events that filled the year. At MBP we had a great year. We shot some excellent regattas, witnessed some impressive sailing, and enjoyed a lot of beautiful scenery. While we could fill pages with the great memories, instead we have picked our highlights and present them here in brief and in no particular order (If something here piques your interest, we encourage you to scroll down to previous entries and read the full story!):
Key West Race Week – though it was under 60 degrees all week, it was still warmer than New Jersey in January!

Leukemia Cup Regatta – Sailors in Raritan Bay dueled in great winds and showed tremendous skill as they raised money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We look forward to the 2010 version!

Beauty on Barnegat Bay – On June 19, after a stressful day, Mike spontaneously decided to grab the cameras and go for a boat ride. As it turned out, the light was perfect and he shot several of his favorite photos of the summer. You never know…
Sunfish sailors racing in Toms River.
Lightning Atlantic Coast Championship – This year’s ACC provided some heavy weather sailing. We had fun watching Lightning sailors young and old race around the buoys.

Dolphins – We will never forget the awesome experience of being with a pod of 70+ dolphins near Cape May. Truly awesome.

Other exciting highlights from 2009: we presented a gallery exhibit titled Sails, Spars and Wind in Newark, and had a photograph published in SAIL magazine.
SAIL Magazine published this MBP photo in the July issue.

We are glad you are paying us a visit, and hope you will make this a frequent stop on your web voyages. We will be using this blog to keep you up to date on where we’ve been, what we’ve been shooting, and the upcoming events we will be shooting. We kicked the year off right with a trip in January to Key West for Acura Key West Race Week. And beginning in April, we’ll be back on the water covering regattas and events including Barnegat Bay A-Cats, Hobies around New Jersey, classic yachts in Newport, Rhode Island, and The Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race in Maryland.
Our “About” page tells you a little more about MBP. Visit our “Where We Will Be…” page to take a look at our calendar. Check out our “Great Links” page for other cool sites we think you might like.
We’ll also be posting some useful photography tips – particularly those that might be useful out on the water.
We invite your feedback and comments. We’d love to hear what you think or what you’d like to see more of.
