THE COLLEGE YEAR: SAILING

My fondest memories of college life are really are those of sailing and the broad community of all the colleges we competed against.

The format that of exciting sailing which afforded the opportunity to develop and sharpen our skills; but I am still racing with or against many of those I knew in college.

SAILING THROUGH LIFE

This is in response to those who asked:”Who are you?” It is a least a dimension.Boats have always been a part of my life. Naturally interwoven with the story of Newport.

MY NEW WEB SITE

I have been working feverishly on a new web site for my photographs. Click HERE to visit. My previous site on which I had worked  for almost a year developed a problem; I believe after I ran an update to the site.

Here is a sample of photographs available on the site. I have an archive of over 100,000 images spanning almost everything you see around you in the world.

I WAS YOUNG ONCE TOO

Interestingly these photos all relate to offshore sailing…on “Carina”.  I sailed two transatlantics, two admirals cups, 2 fastnet races, 2 channel races, one bermuda race and many other races on the 48 foot McCurdy and Rhodes design.

I still contend we had more fun in that era. There were so many characters with so many stories.
