White Sails on the Bay

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Sailing on Port Phillip Bay near Queenscliff, Bellarine Peninsula.
I took these photos just over a week ago during the school holidays, when the winter sun emerged after several days of rain and wind!
We celebrated the sunshine by taking a ride on the Queenscliff-Sorrento ferry!

Michelle Johnson said...: Sailing is something I've never done. Makes one want to be out on the water when they see a sailboat. The closest I've come to sailing is being on a speedboat or houseboat.; July 26, 2009 6:22 AM
Carletta said...: I see the sun hitting the sails and can almost imagine what it would be like there on the boat with the sun falling on my outstretched face. I like the subtle reflection in the second shot.
Nicely done.; July 26, 2009 4:44 PM

Great shot! That looks like so much fun. Never been on a sail boat in the ocean. Have a great day!
