Green Boating the Old Fashioned Way - Tall Ships Nova Scotia Festival

tall Ship Concordia from the Tall Ship Festival Nova ScotiaThe Tall Ships Nova Scotia Festival 2009 starts today and runs through August 1. If you are in the area, this looks like a lot of fun. Their Confirmed Ships page lists and pictures over 40 tall ships from around the world that will be visiting during the event.

According to the site, ships will arrive in Halifax today, parade in Halifax on July 20, 2009, then selected ships will head north to Cape Breton stopping in various ports over the following two weeks.

This looks like it would be a lot of fun if you get a chance to participate. While I'm not a sailor, there is somethign about seeing and standing on a tall ship that kind of makes me want to run away to sea....

I just ran across a website that offers wooden cleats and handrails for such traditional tall ships. Check out http://www.hardwoodcleats.com
