Regattas and Other water spectacles

    Ever since coming to the Upstate, we've been impressed with how the locals have put to good advantage their bodies of water.  Unlike the lakes we grew up near in our home states of Minnesota and Illinois, most of the area lakes are man-made, most notably Hartwell Lake, formed by a large US Army Corps of Engineers Dam on the Savannah River.  It is here that we find events, including sailing competitions which draw sailors and their boats from literally all over the country.  
    Much smaller, and less well known, is Broadway Lake, contained entirely within Anderson County.  While not large enough to support the large events that Hartwell does, Broadway Lake nonetheless is our favorite.  It reminds us more of our roots; a small lake more suitable for canoes than for large, expensive sailboats.  In fact, Pete has found it to be so much to his liking that he now writes a column based upon it for Lakeside News.  

    Here are a few of the events we've photographed on local waters . . .
