This past weekend I was over in Newport Harbor to photograph the Sail Newport Youth Challenge, an annual early season event for junior sailors. All of these kids are still in school but manage to get themselves together for a two day regatta in early June. I saw a few familiar faces and was out shooting for both days of sailing.
