Irene and I spent the last five days over on Vancouver Island in Victoria for the Tall Ships Festival [1]. I had a good time, and would particularly recommend seeing the Tall Ships to someone who has a moderate to strong interest in the age of sail. So what did we see? Well, a lot of ships, of course 😉
I’ve put a couple hundred pictures up into the Gallery- I’m sad to say that the majority of them are unlabeled, as is often the case when I upload large numbers of photos. You can click the photo below of the Eagle to go to the Gallery folder if you like:

On a related note… one of the evenings when I was recovering from far too much sun, I took a couple of pictures of Chris’ hotel from the little balcony on our room. I thought it would be funny if I, perchance, happened to catch Chris or one of his family members out on *their* patio. I couldn’t see them through the viewfinder, so I figured it was a lost cause…

That’s pretty much what I saw, except quite a bit smaller through the camera’s viewfinder. Chris’ room was on the third floor, towards the center of the picture…can you see what I saw later when I was reviewing the photos? Here, let me help you…
I’ve only known Chris for 30 years, so I could be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure that’s him, shading his eyes and looking directly back at me 🙂 For comparison, here is a photo of Chris taken earlier that same day:
Now… I could be imagining things, but if you look at that enlarged photo above, doesn’t it look like Chris was holding a camera? What is the chance that he was taking a photo at that exact time (Friday, June 27, 7:10 PM according my photograph’s EXIF data)? <shudder> That would be far too spooky…
