Shadow finds a friend

Shadow always likes other animals, but she really hit it off with this Chocolate Lab in the park.

Not much wind, but a what gorgeous day!

I wrapped up daylight at Hamilton Creek Marina. There were some huge wind shadows and I was really glad to not be standing out there on a board holding a 10.5, but a sailboat would have been nice earlier when it blew up to 12 mph for a couple of hours.

This was shot from the marina parking lot and the boat was leaving the cove and entering the main part of the lake, which is at least 1/4 mile away from where I was standing, so I am quite pleased with the quality of my Fuji 5100S.

Kite Boat

The Beaufort powered by a “SkySail’ sails in the Baltic Sea in a September 2006 handout photo. The “SkySail”, a 160 square-meter kite tethered to a mast, has successfully undergone years of trial runs and Bremen shipowner Beluga Shipping believes it will help its vessels cut fuel use by 15 to 20 percent.
