It's Regatta Season in Charleston

The big fun for non regatta sport fans is to take a ride with
this high speed boat

Spinnakers in many colors are gliding by the Ravanel-Bridge

A breezy sea and Charlestons pretty skyline in the background

It looks for me more like a chaotic sailing than something organized I'm used to see in regattas - I believe, it must have been just the training turn

And why the *heck* is this private yacht searching his way between all those sailing boats? There was enough space all around the boats. Click in the picture to see closer that for me pretty dangerous looking situation.

But after all, it was a great and colorful sports event in front of a wonderful background: The Ravanel Bridge of Charleston. I love regattas!

The Waterfront Park

Sunday afternoon clouds and the impressive Ravanel Bridge seen from the Waterfront Park

David and Goliath

Make peace and NOT war!

I Love Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart - Sailing lyrics

Artist: Rod Stewart



I am sailing, I am sailing,
home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
to be near you, to be free.

I am flying, I am flying,
like a bird 'cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
to be with you, to be free.

Can you hear me, can you hear me
thro' the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever trying,
to be with you, who can say.

Can you hear me, can you hear me,
thro' the dark night far away.
I am dying, forever trying,
to be with you, who can say.

We are sailing, we are sailing,
home again 'cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters,
to be near you, to be free.

Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free,
Oh Lord.
