They were coming into the bay with spinnakers up and Maltese Falcon is setting the sails one by one.

[nilo]

It didn't take long for Maltese to have all the sails up and she was in full gear sailing together with the rest of the boats.

[nilo]

They paraded one by one.. Maltese at this point left the lane and went for anchorage.

As they approach the finish line we could sense tension was building..

[nilo]

I had the chance to take some close ups as well.

[nilo]

Some more close ups..

In the larger sized pictures; actually I have them around 5 megapixel; you can see the expressions in the faces and te stress and tension.

Here comes Gliss again..

One more pack of pictures before the final ones.

The last two pictures, one is the famous "Eagle Rock". I hope you enjoyed the series of pictures. However, on my side I still prefer the comfort and abundant space a motor yacht offers .
