Parade of Sail

It's been busy times recently in Dublin Port and Poolbeg Marina. Big cruise ships called in, including The Splendida and I think it's sister ship, Royal Princess.
Poolbeg had the Blessing of the Boats and a Parade of Sail up the Liffey. We also re-christened our little vessel, to ZigZag.

Little ZigZag in front of The Splendida, the 11th largest cruise ship in the world.

Here are Liffey rowers passing Royal Princess. Can you see a movie playing on the big screen on deck ?

These are the men I hope never to have to meet really doing their job.

Blessing the boats in the sunshine.

Some of ZigZag's crew !

And the parade begins, the bridge was lifted and up the Liffey we went.

I have to include the Commodore's Boat !

Back to the pontoon and a quick crew shot.

Now our long-suffering wives know where we vanish to, on the odd evening !
