The tall ships surround me!

That is cool.


I saw a tall truck (a Verizon cherry-picker) here in Chelmsford.
Not quite the same thing.

Are the tall ships coming back to Boston? How big a fleet? For how long a stay? I must get home for a visit if that's so.

Ah, I miss that office.

Walked around the waterfront (not your area, this was closer to the Aquarium) yesterday and we saw one.

You know Chelmsford has it own odd sort of beauty.

They will be here from today until the 13th. I know there is over 30 supposed to be here - but most are not open to the public, but you can see them without boarding.

Directly where I work there is 3 - Concordia, Libertad and Kruzenshtern and next pier over there is another 4. It is so cool to see these huge ships right from your office windows.

Yes, although this isn't necessarily the prettiest area of Boston - when stuff like this come in - it is awesome.

Ah the link if you are interested...http://www.sailboston.com/home.html

Why, thank you. It's sweet of you to say so.
Oh, you mean the town . . .

As of this morning, about 10 sailing ships/boats were in the marked areas:

Wow.
And I'm gonna miss this visit this time.
Last time these beauties were in port at Boston I was down at the waterfront nearly every day. Seaglass was a part-time volunteer on one of the smaller exhibit ships as I recall. What year was that?

Maybe I'll head over this weekend. I love seeing these beautiful ships. They came in in small clusters instead of coming in in 'parade' formation. They're spread out around the city. Both of those factors are because of crowd control, budget considerations and post-9/11 paranoia.

Me and some of my family boarded the Amerigo Vespuci. I think that was 2000, M.A.

Waaaahhhh!

I need pics. I need to go to Boston!

love tall ships.

search boston.com or the boston globe

So cool - this morning I went to the windows (now mind you these windows are those very tall type - fall to ceiling kind). I was watching the Russian ship and the sailors. A bunch of the sailors were on the masts high above and rolling and tightening up the sails - it was so cool to watch. One nice looking guy had his shirt off and was working on the deck that wasn't bad to watch either. Another nodded to me and motioned for me to come on aboard. I would have loved to - but knew the security was tight - and there was no way to get through as public viewing isn't until later.

Hubby is hoping to bring the kids tomorrow and we will meet up to tour some of these beautiful ships.

On an aside - Mame would be happy to know that the Urganuy (sp?) ship is on one side of my building - I have to make sure I visit that ship!

Linkat that is great news. I loved it when we had the Tall Ships were I live. Please post more pics when you have time.
