Wow, stunning sunsets and great sailing. I agree with you about the colors. It almost looks like you did the "soft" focus on purpose. Maybe a quick edit of the post before the East coaster get up to say something like:
"I blurred the subject to draw the eye away from the obvious towards the sublime"
Anyway, thanks for the sun. It helped to warm me up on a cold damp Pacific Northwest night.
Cheers, Bill
I have got to sail on San Fransisco Bay!

Variation on sunset
Lacks the color, but speaks to me on some level anyway.

Some mighty pretty pictures all, thanks for what seems to be progressing into a montage.

Isn't that the boat that's been aground in Lake Michigan? If so, there's been some "Who'd jurisdiction is this?" waffling and it's just been languishing there, accidentally turning into a local "photo op."
I Googled to double check on this and found that it's now being cut up. I also read for the first time that it's a Chinook 34. Sad fate for a very early plastic classic :(
Here's one link to an article:

Well, we know what they mean, anyway ;)The article wrote:Boatyard owner Gene Cramer, himself the owner of a Chinook 34, said the design was one of the first production fiberglass sailboats ever made. It has a fiberglass hull but wooden topsides.
