Just informing that I finally went through the pics from the Tall Ships' Races. They can be found here. Although there really are too many of them. Choosing is just really hard. Maybe I shouldn't take so many pictures? Because then I have to spend hours and hours going through them.
So the Tall Ships' Races are held every year and every fourth year or so they sail in the Baltic Sea and come to Finland. They visit a different city every time and this year they came to Kotka that is a costal city couple of hours east of Helsinki. We happened to be close by and went to have a look. I've never seen them before. They really were quite amazing and one could get on board to quite a many of them.
The mexican ship was everybodys favourite I think. They had music on board and all the sailors were smiling and joking. The Russian ship was supposedly the second largest in the world. We figured it was a school ship since we saw a lot of young boys. But one had to pay to get on board so we didn't go.
Anyways, the pictures will speak for themselves. Here's a link to the Tall Ships' Races page in Kotka.

Great pictures! I had never heard of this race before, but it must be quite a sight to see all those sailing ships out on the water! I thought the picture with the sailor standing in the middle of the pile of rope was interesting.
