Tall Ship, Op-Sail 2012…
Each year around Memorial Day, New York host Op-Sail, the parade of “tall ships”. This year, my son Jonah and I were fortunate enough to get tickets on one of the boats that was ‘touring’ these ships while they were anchored in New York Harbor. It was a beautiful evening. Everyone on board was excited to see these ships up close and in the water. (You could board them the next day while they were docked. This, for us, was more fun. One of the great ways to see the city is from the water and with these ships docked in the harbor, it made it even better.
All images in the slideshow below were made hand-held on a boat rocking in the current.
Hope you enjoy!

One of my favorite posts of yours. Course, I’m a sucker for boats. But these really are terrific. I like the backgrounds very much too. Great work.
Thanks Bob. Appreciate your comments.
