Description

“There is no more thrilling sensation I know of than sailing. It comes as near to flying as man has got to yet – except in dreams.” ~Jerome K. Jerome, 'Three Men in a Boat'

I edited an old black and white shot from 1970, using Photoshop and Topaz Studio 2.
When I was in high school, I paid 50 bucks for a well worn 16 foot 'sneakbox' sailboat from a friend of my dad. It took me all of one winter to restore it to seaworthiness. This is her first time in the water, Oyster Creek off Barnegat Bay in New Jersey. Sold her to a neighbor a few years later when I went off to college.
Good times.
Great memories!
