Thought it was safer to call them that rather than calling them ships when they are boats and boats when they are ships!
Anyway, lots of the flotilla emerging from up City over the last two days. Shame the weather has not revealed them in their full glory but at least the Wherries and Thames Barges have largely been under sail. Great stuff! the race between the two Tall Ships was fantastic with the larger blue one rapidly overtaking the other right outside the centre where at one stage they merged into a six masted monster.
There must be more to come so will keep you all posted!
