The B.A.P. Unión from Peru manouvering in the crowded waters of SAIL Amsterdam last month. You can see the cadets standing on the masts.

And here it is, the last photo that has something to do with Sail that I'll upload (for a while anyway). Taken at the Oosterdokseiland, where a number of ships were waiting for passengers to come on board.

Now that is something I should do at the next edition of Sail. Either book one of these tours, or try to befriend somebody with a boat in the meantime. 😅 But anyway, apart from the underwhelming fireworks shows, you have been great, Sail. See you in 2030!

During Sail, I have also been on the Belem. Compared to the B.A.P Union and Capitan Miranda, the Belem was a bit of a letdown.

Not an awful lot of atmosphere, the interior was alright but not necessarily anything to write home about, and it almost seemed like the crew didn't want any guests on board. At least the view from the Belem was a nice one to watch the other boats pass by. 😊

As promised yesterday, hereby the Capitan Miranda from Uruguay. With quite possibly the nicest sails on all the ships I have seen during Sail.

Nope, I wasn't done with the B.A.P Union yet. It's also looking pretty cool at night, even when it's becoming somewhat trickier to spot it in a long exposure of the Saturday evening crowds on the water. 😅

It's gone a bit invisible because of that orange and pink lit up boat in the foreground, but luckily the white and red lights help. 😊

I also quite liked the Capitan Miranda from Uruguay that's next to the B.A.P Union, in the right side of this photo. More about that tomorrow.

Lately I have already seen some posts from people asking we're slowly but steadily getting ready for autumn. To each their own ofcourse, but hell no that I'm ready for autumn. 🤣

The colourful foliage and foggy mornings obviously are nice, but the fact the days are getting colder and shorter, I don't want to think of that stuff yet. 😉

Anyway, whilst I haven't done anything in terms of last night's northern lights (it was raining around 11 over here, and I have to get up early for work the morning after anyway, so I couldn't afford to stay up until 1-2 AM before the show finally got started), I'll just continue with Sail. 😇

Of course the star of this edition of Sail could not stay behind in my collection. The B.A.P Union from Peru, and respect for its crew having climbed into the masts (and miraculously staying up there 😅).

A (seemingly) tranquil sunset in the temporary harbour.

Some more random stuff that passed by during the Sail In. Now I want to ride a beer keg boat as well. 🤣

Apart from the names on the ships, the sails of some of the ships also intrigue me.

I rather wanted to turn this into a series, but life happened, so I got a bit behind with photo editing, so a standalone photo it has become. But then a photo of the sail of the Kamper Kogge definitely is not a bad way to start. Especially against a nice deeply polarised sky. 😊

Sail, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (1995)

#drawing #drawingoftheday #drawings #art #abstract #abstractdrawing #amsterdam #thenetherlands #sailamsterdam

Last Saturday evening, I thought it would be a nice idea to go to the Sail area to shoot some blue hour photos.

I only underestimated how busy it would get on the water with people on boats presumably wanting to get a good spot to watch the (very underwhelming) fireworks show. A long exposure then does make it the more apparent how much of a funfair on the water Sail actually is. 🤣

The ship in the background is the Gorch Fock from Germany, by the way. 😊

While I mostly came to the Sail In for the tall ships, obviously plenty is happening around these tall ships as well. It often is fun to just look at how people have named their boats.

1) La Bella Ragazza, with the bella ragazza waving to the audience. 😁

2) One for the football fans. Gabriel Boatistuta, in what appears to be the font of the Championship Manager game. 👏 The Clipper Stad Amsterdam in the background was a nice bonus.

3) Miami Vice 🤣 With the Pasqual Flores in the background as another nice bonus.

Everything gets a little better with some colour in the sky. 😊

Some more photos from the Sail In; the Witte Swaen from the Netherlands, the Alexander von Humboldt II from Germany, and the Belem from France.

Thought it was funny Greenpeace was present as well... I haven't heard of them having taken any actions that day though, so no news is good news in this case, I suppose.
