Tall Ships in the mist

Start of the tall ship race 2006 in Torquay Torbay. We had fog and the visibility was not more than 200 meters. All around us sounded fog horns in different tones but with the all the same signal, "one long blast and two short" the signal that sailing ships are sounding when they are under sail. One minute for the start other ships became visible and they looked big and very close, when we sailed all together over the start line. (Logbook Bark Europa)

The tall ships in Torbay is an amazing eye feast, viewed from the ferries which have a handy bar on board makes it very memorable and on a clear night with a blazing sunset it is unprecedented.

The white ship is not the Juan Sebastian de Elcano - the JS de Elcano is a four masted ship.
