19 July 2012 18:21183593Nice pics Ted, well done. - 19 July 2012 18:59183600I'll sort some photos out over the w/e of tall ship prior to entering the harbour.
I was on the auxiliary lifeboat that went out to meet the tall ship & transfer the torch off Langdon Bay/St Margaret's. Pretty rough out there & ultimately the transfer took place in the harbour because of weather conditions.
Watty - 19 July 2012 19:42183608Look forward to seeing them Paul. You must have had a good day.
Roger - 19 July 2012 19:48183611Looked like it really struggled into the head wind (especially without the sails up!!)
Been nice knowing you :) - 19 July 2012 20:47183630Was lucky enough to have a tour of her today. Photos still on my camera I will try load up in next few days. An impressive ship she be, inside and out!Keeps politics to myself
- 19 July 2012 20:58183633Great to see the photos.
How lovely Helen
- 20 July 2012 07:53183659Well done with the pictures guys and looking forward to seeing some more.
Here is another one.
Thats the second Lifeboat above and when I read Pauli Watkins post above I couldnt resist a bit of extreme enlargement and yes...here he is in the pic below, you can spot him there on the foredeck, leading the charge, in the true tradition of the English seafarer Sir Francis Drake, in the teeth of the gale n all that...
....well done that man!
I believe the Torch bearer, who would have been on the other Lifeboat, was seasick before landing on Prince of Wales pier.
PS: the Tall Ship is still moored along the Prince of Wales pier as per the photo on the Cruise thread.email: dover7@msn.com - 20 July 2012 08:23183661PaulB see the link to RNLI press release I have put on 'torch is coming buzz' page. Great photos and video there. Unfortunately the torch barer was seasIck so one of the support represented him on the tall ship and coming to the PoW pier. Once on solid ground tho the torch barer did us proud and ran his leg with the flameKeeps politics to myself
- 20 July 2012 08:54183667Thanks for that Helen...thats great. Yes a very interesting one there from the Lifeboat guys on the 'Torch is coming buzz' thread..will have a further look shortly now as well.
Have made the link LIVE for you on that thread.
Its easy to make links LIVE. Click on the URL BOX amongst the smileys when typing..two little boxes appear..type the web address in between the two little boxes and there we are.
Just a reminder.. if anyone who might have missed it..wants to see it
the Tall Ship can still be seen... see post 13 ( also for the PauliWatkins exploits ).
I came back to change this as put the wrong post number on earlier...phew! Losing marbles..lol!
email: dover7@msn.com - 20 July 2012 09:25183674Thank Paul. Normally copy and pasting works on a computer for me but it does not do the same when I use my phone to post links. Will try that in futureKeeps politics to myself
- 21 July 2012 09:07183876Thanks PaulB (from other thread). Found it!
