Let's have a resounding SQUEE! for tall ships!

[muccamukk]

The log jam in James bay from which I was watching the battle. I say next to a couple of young girls, lent the my binos, and answered questions like "If it's not a real fight, how come the cannons make so much noise?"


Looking east to the harbour mouth and the cruise ship pier at Ogden Point.


The particpants (left to right): the brig Lady Washington, the top-sail ketch Hawaiian Chieftain, and the top-sail schooner Lynx.


The Lynx and the Hawaiian Chieftain circle each other.


Later, the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftaindo the same.


While the Lynx takes a shot a the top-sail schooner Amazing Grace.


Then sits at rest for a while. There really wasn't enough wind for a proper battle. Oh well, perhaps tomorrow night.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Only too happy to oblige. :D Thank you so much for these great shots. I loved how first Lynx and Hawaiian Chieftain circle each other and second when Lynx takes a shot on Amazing Grace. The people in tiny Lynx are really not afraid of the bigger sails. So like a post-captain of our acquaintance!*g*

You were in a very good position for those shots. Thanks again

The Lynx is the larger schooner on the right, I'm afraid. I'm not sure that The Amazing Grace is even armed. This Lynx did used to be a pirate though, so I suppose one can expect that sort of behaviour.

I'm glad you like them. I hope to post more soon.

*booos Lynx
One does not attack someone smaller and without arms!

As you say, what does one expect from a pirate. Still, the photos are wonderful. I'll be waiting.
:D
