Festival of the Sea

[Woodlouse2002]

Grand shots there.

I was planning on going myself but as were scuppered by the wind as we were going to sail up and a 20 knot easterly is not a nice wind to slog up channel in. So I went to France instead. So I got some photo's from there that i'll probably post at some point.

All I saw of square riggers is the two I passed sailing round Land's End this morning.

Looks like the only festival I'll be going to this year is the Risor Tre Bat Festival in Norway. C'est la vie. Douarnenez next year.

These are fantastic photos Doug. Looks like it was a great event. Shame I live so far from the South coast.

So when's he going to post the rest of his pics?

Very nice Doug.

Isn't the Invincible still active? I'm surprised they'd have let you on. Prime target for a terrorist.. And here we are having to take our shoes off at the airport, even if we're wearing sandals..

Very cool shots though.

To be honest these are about the best. I can post some more if you wish.

Thanks James. HMS Invincible is fully operational & on 24-hour stand-by.  No reason we shouldn't be allowed on board to have a look round. Like every other British taxpayer I own a very small part of that ship. I like to see what it's spent on.

Makes sense.

When you put it in those terms, my mom and dad probably own the mop to clean the head on the USS Carl Vinson..

Currently I own 2 disposable cups on HMS Illustrious.

Yes please.

I missed out so I'm gonna have to see the photo's now.

Wonderful shots Doug...the "Tall Ships" are an amazing site to see and even more amazing to tour.
