Sailing Away

Well, I dropped Dawn off this morning (at 6) at a friend’s house who she is sailing with. There’s a group of 5 that are sailing the “Evensong” in the Harvest Moon Regatta from Galveston to Port Aransas. She’s set to sail out of Kemah at around 7:30 AM to get to Galveston for the 2 PM start, then they have about 24-30 hours in the Gulf to get to Port Aransas. I’ll be leaving tomorrow to drive down to meet them at the finish line (and it’s about a 5 hour drive). We’ll then stay Friday and Saturday night and I’ll drive her back in Sunday (the rest of the crew will sail/power the boat back Sunday &/or Monday).

If I can get out of Houston early Friday, I may be able to get to the finish line real early and set up my cameras to take pictures of the various boats crossing the line. Les (captain of the Evensong) offered to assist in marketing the shots to the various boats in the race. He seems to feel that 10-20% would buy some shots, especially the winners.
