(18,219 posts)I wish that they would have banned all the motor boats from that area though. I am rather shocked that there are so many.
Those boats are great. I really like the last photo....if I knew how to photoshop it, I would get rid of those horrid motor boats.

This better?

(18,219 posts)since cropping all the motor boats doesn't show how big those ships were. I bet it was a lot of fun to watch.

(130,908 posts)and also gave me better understanding of the 'fog of war!' Lots going on, more of course with the motor boats and other extraneous vessels, watching the Tall Ships lumbering around, hearing the booms, and being at a distance (VERY slight, tho!) And now its utterly peaceful! 3 hours til sunset!
