I went to the Hobie races on Sunday, and Noel let me ride in the chase boat with him and Chuck (the man in charge of the chase boat). I was going to be just fine going out and sitting and taking pictures from a distance, but God blessed me and sent an actual photographer along that day and she rode with us all afternoon! So we got to get right into the races where she could snag some good pictures. :-D

Some of the sails were *so* colorful!

It was fun to get to follow boats and take pictures of the sailors trapping out. (Or at least I think that's what it's called... I've only ever been to two races, so I'm still not quite up to snuff with the vocab.)

*This* was one of my favorite shots. I love the the lines in the sail! It somehow reminds me of dragon gills...

This is Mr. Jones and Dana one one boat, and Kortney Gross and Jay on the other. (The skippers like to have small people for crew; it helps the boat go faster.)

And these are the top three boats. :-)
