Watching the Tall Ships come in with their sails was so exciting. I have lived in San Diego most of my life, and this was definitely a thrill not to be missed.

It was a great adventure! We left port at 10:00 am and returned at 1:00 pm so that gave us three hours to enjoy the amazing day. The tall ships were really something. My husband took numerous photographs of ships from every angle. Would really recommend and will definitely do this again. The only down side: it was very crowded and several people had to take chairs from inside the dining room to have a seat. Also, because of our constant stop and start there were more fumes than usual. One passenger we befriended took ill because of it.

A nice chance to view the Tall Ships close up while under sail. As a bonus, Captain Rick had experience sailing similar ships and was able to provide informative commentary.
