Tall SHips

[Desert Rat]

This past weekend was the Tall Ship Festival in Dana Point, CA. In the afternoons between 5:00pm and sunset some of the ships headed out for mock canon battles on the ocean. Problem was the ships were pretty far away most of the time.

Thanke Pete.. They were a bit different last year, but none the less pretty good due to the time they sail toward Sunset...
