A three day festival takes place in Dana Point this time of year in celebration of the Tall Ships, starting out on Friday night with a parade of these beautiful vessels from Laguna Beach into Dana Point Harbor. As the pictures show, the weather could have been a bit more cooperative. After several days of intense heat earlier in the week, the coastal clouds had returned. Still the ships are beautiful under full sail. Where we choose to watch them come in, just inside the break water meant that our views of them under sail were slightly obscured, and once inside the breakers, they've dropped sail. Still it was a wonderful way to spend a late afternoon/early evening. We had packed a pic-nic of sandwiches, chips and a bottle of wine, and enjoyed the comradery of a number of the folks there to watch the show.
