October 9, 2009-Thinking of sailing

We’ve been working on the boat for over a month and the end is not yet in sight.

But like a long voyage we know that in time this project too will be over, and then we'll be back on the water doing what we like best: sailing.

I don't usually feature the work of other photographers but this shot by Jean-Marie Liot is stunning.

It got me thinking about some of the great sailing images we've gotten over the years. Here are some from the America's Cup, in New Zealand in 2000.

And we've had some good sailing on Wings; these shots captured at Western Circuit regatta in Singapore.

So, even though these days we are living ashore and Wings is on the hard, sailing is still very much on our mind.
