Sailing in Geneva, Switzerland - July 1999

In July, 1999, I was visiting my friends Chris and Tina (seen in the pictures) who were doing an internship at the World Health Organization in Geneva. We went sailing one day. Great winds, great boat. Great fun.


A nice shot of another boat (and some distractingly fouled jib sheets).

The Geneva shore line. (Notice the blue main sheet.)

Chris and Tina, their first time sailing. Chris fell overboard about 30 seconds after this picture was taken.

Tina and me with a huge water spout (man-made) in the background.

Chris at the helm, me being lazy crew. Notice the main sheets (blue) and the back stay.

Beautiful sky, beautiful sails. For the record, I was not allowed to rig the boat and take no responsibility for the halyard cleat.

Chris, beautiful sky. Notice the main sheet and how close his head is to the boom.

At the helm.

Arrrrggg! Prepare to be boarded!

Stoic Chris.
