Tall Ships Festival - Dana Point
Took these photos from in front of the Ritz as I'm not so nautically bent as to pay the high ticket price to get up close and personal with the Tall Ships. Made for a spectacular horizon on Friday evening though, just before they all paraded away into dock. A P51 Mustang buzzed the Ritz at one point, hence the pictures of the plane. If you want to plumb new depths and be a tall ships geek, then identify the ships here (there are some much better photographs of them there as well, although I'd challenge on 'moodiness').
And some people couldn't give two figs for the tall shippery and the fake cannon battles and just wanted to surf.
