The Tall Ships' Races have arrived here in Fredrikstad, Norway (59 deg 12'3N, 10 deg 56' 67E). Almost 100 ships were expected but only 70 or so made it across the North Sea.<br /><br />It is great to see the crowds of people celebrating, and the thousands of crew caring for their proud ships.<br /><br />Here are some pictures I took today:<br /><br /> Tall Ships Pics<br /><br />Here are also some pictures from our local newspaper (press the "Neste bilde" button to go to the next picture).<br /><br /> Fredriksstad Blad

Great stuff Stevens! I love it when they come into Sydney Harbour flying all those pennants (they don't visit nearly enough, but we've got a few of our own). :cool:
