Barcelona Regatta, DEJA VOUS, DEJA VOUS,

Trieste, Italy. (Sounds like the Choptank Cup.)

Olympic sailing crews, boating enthusiasts, and excitement-thirsty locals packed Trieste’s piers, old-world cafes, and vast square facing the sea.

Everything was in place.  Except for the wind. “Not a breath of it,” 

Last year, the 50th anniversary of the Barcelona, as the race is called, included 2,689 boats with 16,000 sailors, making it the largest regatta in the world by some counts. 

Where's Waldo?



Red Sky skippered by Ron Freund was the Committee Boat.  His boat is in the upper right-hand corner of the photograph.
