Harvest Moon Regatta in Galveston Texas

Harvest Moon Regatta in Galveston Texas

Today was the annual "Harvest Moon Regatta"

in Galveston

Every year sailboats begin a race that takes them from Galveston Island, Texas to Port Aransas, Texas along the Gulf Coast, approximately 150 miles.

It was a beautiful sight as always!

I am lucky enough to live right on the seawall and I get some amazing photos from my balcony.

I also had to go down to the beach and out onto the end of a jetty along with all the other photographers to try to get some really good shots.

It's wonderful to see the beautiful sails of all the different colors as they go across the waves.

Today the water had it's "green and blue stripes" as I call them...makes the water look even more gorgeous in photos.

Next time you visit Galveston Island, Texas...be sure to remember the Harvest Moon Regatta, or "sail boat races" as we call them. Every October 1st.
