Spinnakers racing by Race Rock Light.

During the lovely warm Summer months

Long Island Sound is a very busy water way 

from tankers to tug n' tows, 

from ferries to fishing boats,

from research vessels to day sailors,

from kayakers to wind surfers,

and from everything in between!

It doesn't seem to leave much room for daily sailing races to happen.

Though there were a few this past summer.

So,

purely by chance

on a bright sparkly day

with warm sea breezes in the air,

out in the misty distance

brilliant spinnakers sails

were all racing by Race Rock Light!

Perfect!

So, naturally I couldn't help myself with such a wonderful moment.
