Wood built, under sail, into storm brewing conditions... proper sailing.

For a minute there I thought Dingy was directed at me then I realized I prefer dry land and wasn't there so we're good

Di I use an insulting term? I meant that little boat they tug behind.

oh no, I was just being a dork hehehe, if you may have have thought it was insulting it's not , but sometimes if you call someone "dingy" it's like saying they're a bit goofy, quirky, a little bit "off" in a nice way

That explains why they call them dingy. Fits pentaxians too.

I really like that photo!! Great shot!

Thank you very much.

Beautiful photography. Awesome looking vessel

Thanks.

Nice picture of a classy boat. No Plastic fantastic there!

Thanks, aye real wood and no doubt all the maintenance that goes with it.

Great shot! And that kind of sailing is certainly scarier than it looks.

??? Looks like just a good sailing day... Boat's running downwind quite nicely, no waves worth worrying about, sails well trimmed and the boat's in fine shape. Sure, it might rain on them, but that's why they're in raingear


Or do I have different standards for "good weather"? I do live and boat up near Seattle...

Spoken like a real sailor, I'm sure these folk were having a great day out.

I wouldn't really even count myself as a sailor - I just take my kayak out a lot in conditions easily matching what's shown... I would love to add sailing to my repertoire, though And up here in the Puget Sound area, I do have a lot of opportunity to witness 'interesting' boating conditions

That's sailor enough for me.

Very cool - pushing wing-and-wing with a reefed main before a healthy breeze - brings back memories.

Terrific photo - I like the rich color and I also like the fact that you gave the boat some "running room" on the left side of the picture.

A proper sailor at last, with all the correct jargon.

It's called subject on a third...

Me too, beginning to think it was something I'd said...

Ya' gotta remember that geezers my age move pretty slowly!
