23 Favorite Moments from 2023 (not ranked) 4. The Race to Mackinac started with beautiful sunny skies, but near the end of the starts a storm broke out like no other. The rain was big, cold and fierce. The rain was so thick you swear it was snowing. Waterproof gear got tested.

You’re a bad ass sailor if you go from the podium straight to taking the rookie plunge. #cycrtm #kinship

And they're off! Pretty cool to watch the Race to Mackinac kick-off from #AshoreThing at the east end of Navy Pier. The bonus was getting on top of the East End Ballroom to shoot it // #cycrtm #Chitecture

Rough Waters. This afternoon on Lake Michigan for the Race To Mackinac
A beautiful night for a sailboat race. #makeitmackinac #CYCRTM
If you don’t have pictures to show how wild it was, that’s the sure sign of how wild it really was. The Chicago Mac race (racetomackinac) is always a special one for me – and this year’s was no different and hands down one of the most intense offshore races I’ve ever had the good fortune to be a part of. While the days of “Chewbacca”, my usual racing program I’ve done a handful of Macs with have come to an end, this year afforded me the opportunity to join up with some of our Bayfield competitors “MC^2”. Saturday brought us gorgeous weather and excellent breezy downwind conditions right off the starting line… right up until wrapping our spinnaker in a clusterfuck of the highest order about an hour into the race, slowing us down to 6kts for ~3 miles (Wild event without pictures #1) which we eventually were able to recover from and prepared ourselves for the 40+kts squall line, driving rain that soaked to the core, and massive lightning that stretched across the lake for hours on end. (Wild event without pictures #2) As Sunday cleared, we fought to climb back positions along the Michigan shore along the rhumbline primarily under spinnaker. As we entered the Manitou Islands, the predicted Northwest breeze built from 10 knots to nearly 30kts pounding through the swell inside Gray’s Reef. As we turned the buoy corner towards the Mackinac Bridge, we were able to set the spinnaker again, surfing down 6’ waves and hitting a top boat speed of 18.5kts in the most stunning sunset I think I may ever have experienced – as I got SMOKED by Lake Michigan gallons at a time setting the spin gear and securing the jib to the boat (Wild event without pictures #3) All in all, we powered through an exceptionally challenging race and couldn’t have been happier to make to the island with a great group (and sharing in the joy of a father-son duo both reaching Old Goat Status on the same race no less!) #sailing #documentary #photojournalist #yacht #cycrtm #midwest #mackinacisland #yachtracing #fuji #x100v
