Wordless Wednesday | Sailboat Racing At Black Point Settlement, Bahamas



 
Wordless Wednesday is supposed to be about posting a photo(s) without any words. But, I'm a rule breaker, so here are a few words:

1 - These guys would zip around racing each other in the evenings when we were anchored at Black Point settlement on Great Guana Cay in the Exumas.

 2 - It was like having dinner and a show. Scott would grill something for our dinner and we'd eat it in the cockpit while we watched the racing.

 3 - Scott really wanted to join in the fun. I thought it looked like fun too, until I saw how easily they capsized.

   
What words does this picture(s) bring to your mind when you look at it?

    I would capsized all the time. I'm a powerboat kind of gal, not a sailing kind of gal. I know very little about a sailboat.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ☺

    Those local races are fun to watch! We did it a few times (watch, not participate) in Carriacou, Grenada. The local sailors are so fast and skilled! And... not scared at all.

    We often see kids racing around anchorages. It looks like so much fun! Great photos, Scott!

      It looks like a great way to learn how to sail. Wish I had done it when I was a kid.

      I guess! Wish I could have been there. Oh, and tomorrow I'm posting more of the artwork from drummer Emerson Barrett of Palaye Royale after reading your kind comment. Be well!

    I think if you're in for the thrill, even the capsizing is worth it. ^_^

      I think you're right - capsizing is to be expected from time to time when you do that kind of racing.

    Those pictures are artistic studies in blue. Just gorgeous! And of course, the word they bring to mind is FUN :)
