#sailboston — Public Fediverse posts

I was feeling a bit guilty that I didn't get a chance during #SailBoston to see the Pride of Baltimore II, but she's still moored at the Moakley Courthouse, so I got a look at her up-close today. No public boarding, but still nice to see a ship from my hometown(ish).

A slightly non-traditional view of tonight’s Sail Boston fireworks reflected on a building on Fan Pier / Pier 4. #boston #fireworks #sailboston

Didn't do any appreciable photo editing today but here's some candids of pups enjoying time out on the water after #SailBoston wrapped up

Sail Boston Pics

Today is Monday. At about 7:30am today the house painters arrived. We booked this months and months ago and in the intervening time we’ve had 100 things go wrong in the house and we just sort of lost track. They have been here for 11 hours. They are scraping the old paint off and prepping for the actual painting. Will that start tomorrow? Who knows.

In the meantime, here are a few more pics from our visit to Sail Boston on Saturday. Talk about your gorgeous day in the best city in the world, am I right? It was spectacular from start to finish. We walked about 400 miles in total. I took about 100 pics with the digital camera and one roll of 35mm film and a handful of shots on a second roll. Someday I will get them developed, but not today.

Here are some digital pics to hold us over until the film is developed, probably before the end of the century.

There you have it. Our trip to Sail Boston. I am guessing we saw maybe 5% of the ships, but what we saw was worth it.

Tall Ships

I have been super busy today working on new songs and running errands and I haven’t had a chance to post about yesterday.

My wife and step daughter and I paid a visit to a tiny fraction of Sail Boston. We didn’t see the tall ships parade, but we did see a bunch of them up close. We managed to stay for the fireworks too.

I took a lot of pictures and I hope to post a bunch of them eventually, but for now here are just a few to serve as a teaser for a post that might not ever happen. Aint I a stinker?

I can see tall ships from my window.

It's going to take me a while to sort through all of my photos of the #SailBoston parade of ships, but for now, here's a shot of Pride of Baltimore that is more or less the sort of thing I was shooting for all day, as well as a shot I got of the Red Arrows flyover

OK, here’s the longer Video of ARA Libertad as she’s being brought into dock
If anyone knows what the song is, I would love to hear, I checked to see if it’s the Argentinian national anthem but I don’t think it is.

And here is Amerigo Vespucci lining up with her tow boats

Daughter: I heard that #SailBoston was scheduled to have The Ship of Theseus, but it got replaced at the last minute

Pretty cool looking sail on the schooner Dennis Sullivan #SailBoston #SailBoston2026
