We went to bed in the 21st century and woke up in the 1800s!
“A flamboyant sunrise broke over the bay on Friday, June 8. And there they were. Full-masted tall ships from all over the world. They sailed right past our back door, filling the horizon with excitement. We got out binoculars. We grabbed cameras. We congregated on the shore. We saluted the American flag whenever it sailed by in the 30-mile-long Parade of Tall Ships. And, oh, did we celebrate. With an eagle’s eye view from the Penthouse’s panoramic glass windows. From bayside pavilions and tents at the water’s edge. And from our seawall, where we sat tapping our feet to the beat of a steel drum band. What a spectacular experience this OpSail 2012 was, with its patriotic themes based on our national anthem. It was truly a day to remember, from dawn’s early light to twilight’s last gleaming.” -- A resident's reflection
