Watching the start of the Newport Bermuda Sailboat race

We didn't make it to the start of the first class, but there were many classes, so we still saw a bunch.  When we first arrived, it was overcast & foggy.  We could barely see the boats from our spot on land

and it slowly started to clear, so we could see other class starts much better

big class!

It was breezy, so the first boats took off!  But then a thunderstorm rolled in, with lightening, so they delayed the start of the last couple of classes

the wind then shifted around, so the last classes started downwind with spinnakers flying.  Crazy!

we had a lot of fun - wishing we were out there sailing to Bermuda too :)  Maybe one day
