So my friends and family know I'm addicted to sailing.... and as a result, they forward any and all sailing related things they come across. Over the years, I've collected a few sailing related photos that have caught my eye. Here are a few of mine, share yours if you got them....

These were found on a website called "The Horse's Mouth"





I don't remember where these came from

Are you sure they didn't actually mean the other end of the horse?

Would love to hear the back stories on those images. WOW!!!

I can almost imagine what happened in the second photo.... he was heeled over hard and the sail obstructed his view and his mast hit the pylon. And now he is seeing if he can recover his sail?

The old photo caption site (from way back when) has GOT be revived and these photos would be the first ones up for suggested captions.

First photo is tragic.... hope no one was hurt. Second photo is hilarious! Third photo DEMANDS to be in a caption contest,

Ah.... yes... but I think you are talking about the fourth picture. The third is the one with all the guys standing on the yards of that tall ship.

oh yeah, my bad,
The third one ( tall ship) looks like it could have been a dance routine in a Mel Brooks movie.

Okay.... this is actually a picture I took at the entrance to the river ridge mall in Roanoke VA... it is a list of "Mall Rules".

So the implication is that you can get permission to fish, swim and boat in the mall.... hahaha

So... I wanted to walk into the mall's main office and say... "Hi, I'm here for a fishing permit". Then just F--- with the guy.
