21 July: Santa Apolónia, Lisbon
We wandered down to Santa Apolónia, along with half of Lisbon, to admire the tall ships that had amassed for the 2012 Tall Ships Race. Here are some images to capture the occasion.

The next day we sat by Cais do Sodre watching the ships as they let their sails unfurl on their journey down the Tagus towards the Atlantic.

Ahhh! Lovely. Beauties again.
That 4-masted thing is impressive.
Was the party on board a DSK event, Jim ?
Have you been one of the guests?
Thanks Luc. No we were not guests and the photos are very good – taken by CRM.
