Schooner Days in Portsmouth, VA

[Sanity]

Some shots I took this past weekend at Schooner Days in Portsmouth. The ships sail down in a race from Baltimore to Portsmouth. This past weekend's weather was quite testy for any conditions and required a hearty crew with the 5-7 footers they encountered.
