Re: Tall ships on the west coast
They're here!
One in Ayr bay, looks as if it may be anchoring (or maybe its the bobstay spreaderthingy) and another under sail coming up past Ailsa Craig.
Left the camera on the boat - typical!
The jazzband playing in the Ormidale (Brodick) Sunday lunchtime announced their next gig as the tall ships meet in the Drift-Inn, Lamlash, Thursday.
You never know, we might make it if I can find/fix the broken wire in the mast somewhere.

Re: Tall ships on the west coast
I thought that the Waterford - Greenock leg was to be a race, with the Greenock - Lerwick leg to be a cruise. Did something change?

Well, there could be roller-skating pandas out there for all we know at the moment.

Recognised one of the crew, had met him on Millport pier last august during the Sail and Oar festival, he had rowed from Ireland with other folk.
Sail and Oar festival at Millport again this year.

There were a wheen of them in Lamlash Bay on Wednesday night. It appears Marisca is faster than a Dutch 3 mast with 17 sails set!

John most of those pics look as if they have been taken through a periscope!




Great spread of pics though.
Regret not making more of an effort to go up there.
