Festival of Sail

Yesterday Hubby and I joined some friends and visited San Diego Harbor to enjoy the "Festival of Sail" which was presented by the Maritime Museum of San Diego. The festival took place from August 20th to the 24th, and this was only the fourth time in nine years that San Diego has hosted such a large fleet of tall ships in it's bay. The festival featured San Diego's own Star of India, built in 1863, the United States Coast Guard Eagle, home ported in New London, Connecticut, the Gloria, home ported in Cartagena, Columbia, The Lynx, home ported in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and a score of other sailing beauties. Here are just a few of the hundreds of pictures I took...kinda makes "me shiver me timbers", and want to swab a deck...or not.
