SEEN OFF WEST SEATTLE: First sailboat race of the year

12:03 PM: No photos yet but thanks to Tiah for asking via a comment – all those sailboats off west-facing West Seattle are part of the year’s first race, the Three Tree Point Yacht Club‘s Duwamish Head Race. 65 registrants, according to the TTPYC website. The route (mapped here) goes from Des Moines to, of course, Duwamish Head, and back.

    This was quite something to see at Lincoln Park this morning. When the sun came shining through for a brief moment, it was breathtaking.

    SV Cherokee came in 1st in class and 19th overall. Beautiful lighting – and very cold/wet ~ next race I’m bringing soup instead of a sandwich!

Sorry, comment time is over.
