Duxbury - Shipyard and the Newport boat show
I went home this past weekend to see some people and go to the Newport boat show. I got out saturday evening to take some photos (below). I went to shipyard because I didn't have much time and wanted to go somewhere I haven't shot before. I got a couple shots but I was too late to get any real nice light.
The boat show was awesome - the forecast was for rain but we arrived at about 11:00, when the rain stopped. We got to see all of the boats in the water, from small sailboats like the Dyer dinghy to much more expensive boats including the $2.4 million motorboat M2-60 and the Friendship 40 - my favorite in the show. After the boat show we got to walk the docks of the Newport Shipyard. There were a bunch of very nice boats in the water such as Speedboat/Virgin Money and a dozen or so huge custom wooden cruising yachts. After this, I had to make a stop at Onne van der Waal's gallery located right on the waterfront. He is an incredible photographer and specializes in sailing photography. I recommend checking out his gallery in person, but if you can't do that his website will suffice. Newport is a great day trip if you're interested in sailing. Just walking down the docks at the Shipyard is an experience.
I'm currently working on changing my website to be a bit easier to navigate and update. I hope to have that updated by tomorrow.
Edit: I have updated my main site. Changes include an easier to navigate galleries section with more content, and a larger button for the blog, as well as a few minor changes.
