Sail Boston '09

The wind that blew the tall ships in, blew the relentless rainy weather out.

The tall ship regatta starts in Vigo, Spain. The ships race to the Canary Islands, then on to Bermuda, Charleston, Boston, Halifax, and finish the race in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The ships port in the Boston Harbor for a couple of days for all to gaze upon.

Daniel and I searched for real pirates on every ship we walked past. All the pirates must have been out in search of Boston booty, but I think we spied some pirates in disguise. They were hairy and tan, like real pirates, but were wearing Tevas and bermuda shorts. Not much of a disguise if you ask me. They could have at least de-haired.

Daniel is secretly signing that he thinks a pirate is in that ship behind him.
That hand signal is what we decided to use to alert each other of pirates.

Captain Hook was no where to be found....but we did hear the tick tock, tick tock of the alligator.
