tvordlj | Parade of Sail day (Reply)

It was a clear, hot sunny day. Hardly a cloud in the sky. I bet the temps got up near 30, i didn't check to see. There was a bit of a breeze and no humidity so it was bearable down by the water. Tracey and I went to the Dartmouth waterfront by the library. See, last couple of times, the ships came almost all that way down so we figured we'd have a great view. The parade map said they would as well. Therefore, it didn't bode well when the first ship, the Bluenose, came down one side (the side were we went last time!) and then crossed over and turned around about half way down the harbour, quite a way from where we were. You still had an excellent view, mind you, but if you didn't have a really good zoom lens on your camera, you weren't going to get close up pictures and we could hear a lot of complaining. I didn't mind so much because i do have a decent zoom and besides, we went out on the pier and i was lucky enough to have a park bench to sit on! I was comfy and i enjoyed the afternoon immensely. My Flickr set for all the Tall ships is here and the Parade of sail pics starts about half way down, just past a few videos. I have to add a few videos to that set as well from today. Anyone that's on Facebook, there will be an album there as well, with about half the number of Parade of Sail pics. It's usually the other way around!
