This shot was taken during a special sailboat race we held this weekend.
A good friend of mine lost his wife, a local Doctor, in a car accident.
To help his children and others who have lost loved ones, he created a Center called Lory's Place.
It is a Grief Healing Center of Hospice at Home.
We held a "Lady Skipper Regatta" to raise money for the Center, hence the pink frame on the picture.
We got sponsors to donate money and had an auction and raffle after the race.
Each boat received a 3 second per mile favorable rating for each female crew member on the boats.
The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time.
Best of all we raised $15,000 for Lory's Place.
That's my daughter, Maddie, in the middle of the picture.

Great shot of the boat heeling over. And a wonderful tribute.

Touching story Ken. And sounds like you did a great job of having fun AND raising the money. (Almost beat flying ;-) )
