Avast thar! Be ye friend or foe?

Yesterday Daniel, Rachel, Abigail T., and I trooped over to a harbor close by to check out this event called Harbor Fest/OperationSail. There were around 51 ships, both naval and tall ships, that were docked in a strip of 3 1/2 miles long! We had a great time and Rachel got to do some hands on researching for a certain writing project in the works. :) Here are some of the pictures I was able to take before my battery died:

I think this was the same one that fired twice and scared the wits out of us!

Some of the crew aboard the Cuauhtemoc.

A Mexican sailor at the wheel.

Daniel was a bit disturbed by the deepness of the water we were inches away from

This hammocks were rawther comfortable!

Sailor's knots were abounding....

See? Told ya.

A straight-up shot

Ropes galore!

Rachel was very excited and impressed that this one carried a "moon raker". (the toppest sail a ship can have)

Very pumped up researcher person. ;)

I loved all the tons of masts, flags, and pennants!

This was a neat shot. :)
