fish creek municipal dock, door co
way in the back is a friends 1948 PJ built S&S design. white hull. ketch.
bow sprit boomkin. had double headsails. huge sq ft sail numbers. prolly for the light winds of july on the lakes when they run the mac races. the owner detuned her. he ran the sprit forestay to the inner fractional inside sail position. the new main is two ft short on the boom. the old racing spread was way too much to handle when day sailing with friends. beautiful, hollow sitka spruce masts

Great photos, Jon! I like your commentary style, edited, nothing wasted. AEOLUS is a beauty. Can't help tweaking this shot a little.
I did that in Lightroom. Cropped the dock out the corner and mostly adjusted the light and upped the color saturation of the blue hull and the rest. You can't do much because the image resolution is low, but you can improve those elements.
I can do nearly as much in Preview which is a pretty common program. That allows you to size and adjust color.
