Loving life is only part of the story; going 7 miles upwind in a dinghy in 5′ seas definitely involves some “hating life,” but the photos were worth it. Both on the inside and outside courses, the wind reached over 20 knots.
Obviously, the sailors were tired after yesterday’s racing as
well. They all had war stories to tell from a fair amount of carnage. 2009 Charleston Race Week is going to be a regatta to remember.
Today’s 2000+ Charleston Race Week photos come from a frantic attempt to cover as many boats as possible in ultimate photo conditions. Check out the highlights. All the photos will be posted, sorted by boat, after the event.
