Newport Bermuda Race 2008

Esmeralde...Looking good at the start!

Beautiful day, good breeze.  We hit the line at the pin end and just barely squeaked by without hitting the mark, drawing cheers from the nearby spectator fleet!

I don't have ANY photographs taken on-board during the race.  It was too darn wet and rough for most of the race to bother with a camera.

The first 24 hours were nice sailing, relatively light wind out of the S-SW-WSW, oscillating through the night.  We worked our way to the west side of the course...but not quite so far west as some boats.
