Tall Ships return to Port Adelaide

On the last day of August, we headed up to Port Adelaide to see all the big ships & pirates roaming about. We all donned our bucket hats & braved the crowd to see some amazing vessels. Waiting in line was not going to be in the cards for one in our group, so we looked from land.

Lots of local folks had their small sailboats on the water. It was an absolutely beautiful day to be outside.

The crowds had many people including lots of kids. I ran into a volunteer from the museum and there were thousands who turned up. Some of the vessels had the option of staying overnight for a few hundred. Cam and I already did a similar thing, as volunteers last year. An amazing night. See the post in FEBRUARY of 2012 entitled "Endeavour - in Port Adelaide."

Just a parting shot of a few masts. Enjoy the view.
