Morning Departure

Uploaded: September 03, 2007

Description

This is Jantje a Dutch Square Rigger we fought hard to catch up with last week in order to take pics. We had to keep our engine on as well as the sails or she would have escaped us. No doubt they must be used to people sailing right around them to take pics.
Just looking at this upload and it seems the horizon is not perfectly straight but it is actually an optical illusion because of the light on the water as I just took it back into PS and the horizon is perfectly straight!

Wonderful Kate...what a boat.I would love to see one of those down our river.I know the light well,with the associated water shimmer,and those clouds you took this pic in.It is hard to see all the horizon clearly on these type of days...dose not matter though,as yours is perfectly straight(I think I mean horizontal!).A real beauty Kate. #4740419

Kate,
Sorry, it's been a long time since I've been here!
Being ex-Navy, I just love this shot! Never had the privilege to sailing one of these beauties!
