VIRGINIA'S OPSAIL 2012: DAY 2

 ONE OF THE MOST SPECTACULAR EVENTS I HAVE EVER SEEN..... INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC SHIPS SAILING IN BOAT PARADE FROM THE CHESAPEAKE BAY INTO DOWNTOWN NORFOLK FOR OPSAIL 2012.
WE THOUGHT THE SAILORS WERE FAKE AT FIRST.....UNTIL THE SHIP GOT
CLOSER.....CRAZY!
SAILING DOWN THE ELIZABETH RIVER IN THE PARADE OF SAILS
JUST ANOTHER DAY ON THE BOAT FOR R? LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!
THE INDONESIAN SHIP WAS CRACKING ME UP-THEY WERE BLASTING MUSIC AND THE SAILORS WERE DANCING HIGH UP IN THE SAILS-GUESS THEY ARENT AFRAID OF HEIGHTS!
DOWNTOWN NORFOLK
THE MEXICAN SAILORS...GOOD TO SEE THEM WEARING A  HARNESS!
COULDN'T ASK FOR A NICER DAY.

  1. Wow- this looks amazing! The sailboats are gorgeous! It must have been such a treat to be so close to all the action. I love the quote, 'look behind you!' Too funny! Thanks for your comment on my blog today! I have heard those rugs are extremely durable. :)
