Parade of Sail

These are a sneak peak, and I'm not sure if there's much point to posting these. My first thought on looking at them is "I need a zoom lens", my second thought is "It really loses something when reduced to a photo". Because there is something very cool about waiting for the first masts and sails to appear, and then trying to pick out the individual ships from within the mass. And to think now that long ago, that harbour would have been full of such masts, although more on the size of the James Craig and larger.

If you do get a chance to watch a gathering of tall ships sail in, take it, even if it's just a handful like here. It is very cool :)



Unfortunately, the best I can offer today is a handful of small, greyish photos but at least there was some wind this year. I did link to the bigger photos for a couple of them.
