No more graceful and noble sight can be found in summer than boats under full sail, racing across the open water. This weekend marked the annual Edgartown Yacht Club Regatta, and even the most inveterate landlubber can thrill to the sight of the boats in competition. There's no finer sight this summer. Although the simplicity of an empty dock, a flower filled coffee can, or a field with butterfly weed in bloom comes pretty close. Join photographer Tim Johnson for his Island Light.
