Bravo circle was full of high performance one design boats: the 505s, F-18 catamarans and the triple-handed Vipers. While I still bounced between both circles on day two of the Wickford Regatta, I spent much more time on Bravo circle. It was the first time I had seen F-18s sail and they were quite exciting to watch! Day two of the regatta had very similar conditions to the first day, with...
I was recently invited to photograph the Wickford Regatta during two days in May, a one-design regatta hosted by Wickford Yacht Club out on Narragansett Bay. Competitors were divided into two circles, Alpha and Bravo, and I spent most of my time on the first day with the Alpha boats.

So I made my way down to Charlestown Quononchotaug Beach, QEBA actually (Quonnie East Beach Assoc) where there was easy access to a quiet beach and some great...
I was doing some work in my archives and image catalogs, and I came across some great shots from a day out on the water last summer. I was heading back from the South County 12 Meter Regatta off of Narragansett Beach in late summer and snapped a couple of shots of Plum Beach Light! I remember when Friends of Plum Beach Lighthousestarted fundraising to give this light a facelift in 2003. Details...
