Spinnaker Cup




Though mostly cold and foggy, the Memorial Day weekend in San Francisco got off to an enthusiastic start, with numerous racing yachts coming out for the annual Spinnaker Cup Regatta--a race from San Francisco Bay, running 88 miles South down the Coast to Monterey.

With the Lyons Imaging RIB hauled out at Drake Marine for (hopefully!) the last weekend, I positioned myself on the Golden Gate Bridge, near the North Tower. I reasoned that with the flood current at the start time, much of the fleet would favor the shore, and would cut across the channel further out. About two thirds of the fleet did just that, and for them, I was able to get some cool shots of boats coming directly under me at times. In fact... as much as I miss my boat... the bridge may have been the better vantage point for this event!
