Opsail 2012 Norfolk 0
Second Son is in town with the Pride of Baltimore II, so I went over to Norfolk Harbor to join him at Opsail. Here are a few shots; there will be more during the week as I get them edited. (I posted pictures of the Pride II once before.)
The USS Wisconsin is on permanent exhibit at the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, also known as Nauticus.
The view from the top level of the Boush Street Parking garage. Parking was much easier than I feared; the lady at the gate told me that yesterday was the day they were chock-a-block full.
The Picton-Castle, sailing out of Nova Scotia, Canada.
Delaware’s own Kalmar Nyckel, which we frequently saw when we boated on the Christina River, is on the right; the replica HMS Bounty, built for the Marlon Brando potboiler, is on the left. They were berthed across the Elizabeth River in Portsmouth. My camera has a nice long lens.
And the Harbor Police were keeping an eye on the proceedings.
