Photo Shoot

First a photo shoot with Onne van der Wal then bound for Newfoundland and Greenland. Onne is one of the top yachting photographers www.vanderwal.com. As we powered down the New York City's East River through Hells Gates past the UN, under the Brooklyn Bridge we are on time for our rendezvous at the Statue of Liberty. We make contact with the helicopter arriving from Newport Rhode Island on VHF Ch 9. We time the approach and hoist the spinnaker for the classic shots of the yacht sailing by the timeless landmark of New York Harbor. The first time I sailed past this I was 18 years old delivering a 35 sail boat from the West End of Lake Erie to the Chesapeake Bay. It was very special then and it is very special now
