The Woodwind Captain at Sunset Photo by Adil Sharag-Eldin of Lyndhurst, Ohio

A perfect August afternoon with Captain Mickey and a terrific crew. I thought this shot captured the beauty of the day. Photo by Elizabeth Reinhardt of Aldie, VA

We set off on the Woodwind with little wind but then half way though it finally picked up. The Captain exuded passion for sailing and I was so happy to be able to capture him doing what he loves. Photo by Heather Grow of Staunton, VA

Something happens when you are on a sailboat, something beautiful, perhaps a reflection of life and a humbling of being on a vessel that connects nature and man so seamlessly. There comes to be a respect of Majesty and Man, which one could not dare to forget. Photo by Heather Grow of Staunton, VA

This was our first ever sunset sail aboard the Woodwind II. This moment on we are now annual regulars and take all family & friends who come to town. Photo by Rachel Bentley of Hollywood, Maryland

The Woodwind II kept pace with us the entirety of our cruise, and then in that golden hour before sunset, there was this perfect view of our companion ship. Photo by Deanna Nixon of Germantown, MD
