Mini Regatta (+ PiPs)

Mini Regatta (+ PiPs)
Captured in Emsworth, Hampshire...........where a mini regatta of remote-control sailing boats was taking place on the Mill Pond. Although the weather was cold, wet and windy, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

If we only saw the middle PiP, we would be quite unaware that it was a mini regatta Keith :-) It looks like there were a lot of competitors and the boats look just like the real thing!
Really well captured and great PiP's!!

Curieusement le vent est visible sur cette photo (Peut être la coiffure de la dame) Celà me rappelle certains dessins japonais où le vent est visible. Ces minis voiliers sont trés courageux

I don't know about the wind being visible..............but it was certainly very, very cold. I couldn't feel my fingers after taking these shots! Thanks for dropping in Jean Paul.

Each to his (or her) own Eunice.............I could argue they were daft for being out in that weather playing with model boats..............but then again I was out in the same weather taking photos :-)))

Der Wind war wohl genau richtig für die Regatta. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, wieviel Spaß man dabei haben kann.

Glad you like it.............and although it was windy, the mill pond is quite sheltered for little model boats like these. Thanks for stopping by!
