The Tall Ships' Races at Kotka

Some enermous and amazingly beautiful tall ships are filling up the harbors at Kotka with The Tall Ships' Races 2007 Baltic. We went to see a couple of first ones and they are absolutely mind blowing. Here's some pics.

In case you're dreaming of sailing one... here's some strings and butt cheeks to figure out... (in the last pic, note the fellow chilling out on the second crossbar) Just terrific.
