The annual Eastern Yacht Club Halloween Race took place in Marblehead Harbor today and the clouds broke apart just long enough for me to come home with several keepers. The normally two-day event was cut to one by yesterdays Nor’Easter and so sailing took place longer than usual on this last Sunday in October.

I had just dropped off my daughter and headed across the Neck where I set up in front of the Eastern Yacht Club for this prime viewing location. I had to wait for the intermittent bursts of light but was thrilled to capture not only the colorful sails but also spots of color in Crocker Park. I figured I would start with a few close up shots of the racing.

More to come…
