CONFUSION

Yes, it was complete confusion in my eyes, all those yachts trying to get out of the breakwater at the same time. But no, all of them knew what they were doing and no accidents were reported.
The drone camera is there, too – to capture the event for tv not to spy on the participants. Actually, being an honest person (haha believe it if you will) the drone didn’t appear in this shot but I captured it in other pictures of the same occasion. I merged it to this one for the simple reason that I liked it.
Thank you all very much for all the amazing comments and the many fav’s. I am awed by your response.

The beginning of a regatta does always seem so confusing, but they never seem to crash! Lovely sense of motion captured here!

[Tony]

You've certainly captured the feeling of confusion. Given the cost of those craft I guess no-one wants to put a dent in them. Like it Fave

[Margaret Obey]

Brilliant as always young man. Love that imported drone!

[Maggiemae]

So many yachts in one race! How exciting being able to watch this live! The drone is a bit worrying knowing what is happening in the world but TV coverage is fine!

[Chris K]

I love how they all looked so mixed up but obviously they know what they are doing. It amazes me that so many can maneuver around each other in the water. Great shot!
