Tall Ships

June 2008

We spent a couple days sailing off Victoria with the Tall Ships. Below shows the Bounty heading out and starting to hoist sail. We watched a multi-ship mock cannon battle, sailing about a quarter mile astern of the fleet.













When the Tall Ships left they raced to Washington state. Here the USCGS Eagle has her 21 sails hoisted and cranked on speed to cross the Strait. We sailed hard, but she quickly outran Kiskadee.
