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. 😊

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.

Sail is over by now (hello , withdrawal symptoms 🤣), but luckily we still have the photos. 😊

Starting with following up on my promise of yesterday to upload the blue hour photo (sort of blue anyway, as it had gotten cloudy) taken from A'DAM Lookout in the direction of where Sail was mostly happening.

The crowds were quite overwhelming for me at times, and yet I'm already missing the good atmosphere. Now all that remains, is an eerily quiet river IJ.

Anyway, I still have loads of photos to look at and process, so I'll keep those Sail photos coming for some time.

Went up to Lookout in the A'DAM Tower last Thursday to catch the sunset. Luckily I was there a bit earlier and I already did some photographing, because it got cloudy around sunset, which kinda ruined my plan.

So unfortunately the red to pink tones in the sky that I ordered didn't come, and Lookout only having a handful of peepholes to make photos through didn't help either (pity nothing in that sense has been improved in the 10 or so years since my last visit), but I didn't leave the place empty handed with thanks to a great golden hour that made up for it all.

I did stay until the (sort of) blue hour arrived, but the photo I'm planning to share is too good to me to put into this series, so that's getting an upload of its own. To be continued. 🙂

Most of Sail is great, however the one thing where they really have royally dropped the ball on, is the fireworks show.

It's the tenth edition of Sail, the 750th birthday of the city of Amsterdam, so one would reasonably expect a nice big dramatic fireworks show. But nope, your average working class neighbourhood household in the Netherlands will put up a better show at New Year's Eve than what I have seen last Wednesday and yesterday. It's rich coming from me and my complicated relationship with fireworks, but even I kinda craved the illegal Polish shells. 🤣

I'll have to look and see yet if I actually have anything good from last night's fireworks show (and admittedly, the accompaying light show definitely can best be enjoyed behind Amsterdam Central station), but at least I have been able to make a few photos from last Wednesday's fireworks show that aren't half bad. 😊

I'm kinda late to the party (as per usual... 😉 ), but here are some of the many photos I have taken at the Sail In, last Wednesday.

Plenty more to come of this edition of Sail Amsterdam, but sorting through hundreds of photos and editing several dozens of them does take time. So maybe I'll continue posting Sail Amsterdam photos for the next two months like I have been doing with my Italy photos... 😇

Anyway, now that I have probably scared most people away, here's without further ado the first 4 photos. Containing the following tall ships…

1) Clipper Stad Amsterdam (NL)
2) Shabab Oman II (Oman)
3) Gorch Fock (Germany)
4) A trio of the Nao Santa Maria (Spain), Le Français (France... yes, I shit you not), and slightly in the background the Sagres (Portugal)
