Here are some shots from this weekend’s Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival.  This is an annual event at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Micheals, Maryland.  It brings together an eclectic mix of people, and an even more eclectic mix of boats for a weekend of sailing, story telling and drinking.  This year brought a cool and rainy mix of events. 

A highlight was the launch and maiden sail of Caesura, the second of Barry Long’s (www.eyeinhand.com) twin Melonseed Skiffs.  Barry was kind enough to bring me along on the first sail.  Here’s some highlights of Caesura.

And shots from the rest of the weekend.  The sailing race was only for the hardy this year.  Cold and windy with a tricky finish brought some thrills and crashes at the finish line.

    Great gallery Tony, thanks. Candide and Caesura sail well together. Can’t wait for their next play date! We always enjoy your company.

    Permission to reprint in TSCA’s Ash Breeze magazine? If OK, will get in touch if higher-rezz images are needed. Thanks.
