Avast! Tall Ships invade Victoria!

[CanuckAmok]

That little speck is the 330' Russian tall ship (I can't even begin to spell the mane) which was making its way into the Inner Harbour just as I was arriving home from work. Sorry for the poor shot...I'll take more on the weekend.

In case you can't make them out, those little white dots on each boom are some of the crew members.

5. That is really neat

I see a lot of all kinds of sailing vessels living in Annapolis (the US sailing capital) but I have never seen anything that magnificent

6. Cool. You should see if they give tours.

I was at the Bicentennial in NYC in the huge flotilla of sailing ships and war ships. That was the best liberty port I had. Oh, and Amsterdam.
