Sailing Pictures: 17 September
2003
Photos by Nathan Sanborn
Wednesday, September 17 was one of those
perfect early fall days. The skies were cloudless and dark blue,
the air was crisp and clean, and the winds refreshing. As is
usually the case, I had planned my week around potential sailing days,
and though I had to work in the morning, I was free before noon and
headed straight to the boat. I love sailing in September, as the
bay is simply deserted and peaceful.
It seemed incongruous to
be out sailing on such a glorious day with a light breeze, while further
to our south hurricane Isabel was preparing to pound the coastline
within 24 hours. Even as of this day, the path was slightly
unsure, and it wasn't clear whether I would have to take any storm
preparations or not. However, this day was about sailing.
As I headed out from the
anchorage under sail, I spotted Nathan on Dasein heading in; on
my way down the pier earlier, I had noted that Dasein was not on
her mooring, and I silently cheered because poor Dasein had been
underused of late--much to Nathan and Heather's distress, of course, but
nonetheless.
As we sailed by each
other, I noted happily that Nathan had camera in hand. Here are
the results. If my sail trim looks lousy, it's because I had
started luffing the sails to slow the boat so that I might have a chat
with Nathan rather than speeding by...only too late did I realize I was
being filmed!

sailing.
