Master Mariner's Regatta
The annual Master Mariner's Regatta on San Francisco Bay is one of the spectacles that reminds me how totally thrilled I am to live here and make my living photographing boats on the water. This year over 60 classic yachts turned out for the races. The beautiful privateer Lynx (privateerlynx.com), Humphrey Bogart's old schooner "Santana" (thesantana.com), the John Alden schooner "Dauntless", the 1891 scow schooner "Alma", and dozens of others beautiful classics of all sizes and types. After a brisk race around the bay, with longer courses for bigger boats and shorter ones for smaller boats, most of the fleet sails down the Oakland/Alameda Estuary to the host club, Encinal Yacht Club (encinal.org), for a great party and the opportunity to jump from boat to boat, taking in all these rare beauties.
