My husband is crew of the local lifeboat, so we all went out in a boat to see the wonderful sight. It was quite a foggy morning and I got some excellent photos of the tall ships looking all ghostlike and spooky coming out of the mist. It's a memory I treasure.Akasha Savage.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13482147165827577180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-20275576536825692592010-09-22T11:38:31.549-04:002010-09-22T11:38:31.549-04:00Oh I would love to see these,up close, for now it&...Oh I would love to see these,up close, for now it's nice to share them her.
