This post inspired by a charming little cartoon we used to have pinned up on the SailComm section of the Sebago Canoe Club bulletin board. I'll have to look to see if it's still up when I go to water in the morning, because I can't remember the cartoonist's name, but as I was reminded of it last night as I sorted through all the pictures I'd taken of little boats going this way and that, with puffy clouds in the sky behind them.
The pictures, of course, are a few of mine from Saturday's Laser District 8 regatta, hosted by the Sailing Committee of the Sebago Canoe Club. What a lovely day of racing we had, and great food afterwards, too!
Many more pictures here.

I think there's something profound in describing the regatta as little boats going this way and that, with puffy clouds in the sky.
It's almost a haiku:
Little boats going
this way and that with puffy clouds
in the sky.
You can make it into a full haiku by using the whole phrase minus the problem pronoun:
little boats going
this way and that with puffy clouds
in the sky behind
Problem pronoun fixed! :D
I think the subject had started as "the regatta" and then changed to "little boats". Most of my grammatical errors (at least the most egregious ones) spring from mid-course corrections like that!
