Clipper Race at Hull

The Round the World Clipper Race does exactly what it says on the tin. Ten yachts from various countries are setting sail around the world. The different thing about this race though is that the crews are made up of ordinary folk who have signed up, got trained and will join their boats for various stages on the round the world trip.

It starts from Hull tomorrow, but today the boats were in Hull Marina so we went for a look. I took the little camera for some snaps. I had a go at making a panorama shot of the side of the marina.

It seemed to come out OK.

The atmosphere was great and the weather amazing.

I love that Hull created The Freedom Festival. A free to enjoy celebration for the entire city and it's visitors...

by forming a giant metal cage around the cities central garden. Well done Hull City Council. Well done indeed.

Rather an unfair comment I reckon. Although I guess it depends on which side of the cage you were...

Whilst the intention was to have a safe festival, allowing organisers to control the number of people and to be able to eject unwanted attendees, the overall look was not...pleasing.
