Rough sailing

While having a birthday lunch today, we watched this catamaran sail right out around the reef, then safely into the calm water behind the breakwater. It was most unusual as catamarans rarely sail here - we are, after all known as the shipwreck coast!

Great capture! Hopefully they know what they are doing. There are always those that know, and that have no idea about the possible danger (and a lot in between) Fav

[Peter]

Wonderful light, timing and composition Denise:)

[Poppo Livy]

Crashing waves always make a great capture Denise and the colour in this one is lovely

[Rachel]

Wow, novice sailors? Sounds a bit daring. Great shot.

[Lynda McG]

Nice shot - glad they were safe!

[Debby Davies]

Great timing good picture

[Denise Wood]

@cherrymartina @888rachel We had a "yachty" with us and he suggested that they were studying their chart (they were stationary for awhile) and the fact they sailed "way out" indicated they knew what they were doing.

Great capture, hope they stayed safe.

I love those powerful waves craning over the rock, lovely colours :)

[Myrna O'Hara]

lovely shot, guess they knew what they were doing.

[Lou Ann]

A lovely photo, even though the ship does look outclassed by the water's tremendous power!

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful capture of the crashing wave. A bit dangerous for those not acquainted with those waters.

Impressive to see this capturing how safely the boat seems to be sailing despite the rough waves and rocks. Quite a seascape!

[Ron]

I love action shots of waves splashing like this. The added bonus of the cat in the background is...well, a real bonus!

[Louise & Ken]

What Ron said! At least cats are said to be quite sturdy and smooth because of the double hulls.
