Newport, Rhode Island, USA. The beautiful schooner caught a good breeze in Narragansett Bay as it headed to Newport Harbor. Photo taken from another sailboat with a 70-200 mm lens. (With the lens, compression of distance fools the eye - the boat is not as close to the shore as appears here.)

Beautiful shot, Thad. Those rocks look too close for me. Guess that's why I avoid sailboats and motor my way around the waters.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

She's a beauty! I see you had overcast conditions which hopefully didn't develop into anything serious. Very nice action shot!

Excellent capture Thad. You've made me nervous, lol, because taking a ride with her would be an ultimate pleasure as I see by her design (mainly the shape of the hull and the cut of the sails) that this beauty is a very fast one.
Thanks for sharing this one my friend.

I am trying to figure out what the "snit of the sails," means Thad.
You learn a lot on this site.
Magnificent shot and I think I will have a schooner while I enjoy this schooner.

A great shot of the schooner, Thad. Good composition of the scene with nice clarity and drama in the image. Looks like a great day for a fishing trip. Tell the homeowner on the right he needs to re-shingle the place.
