I arrived in time to see the clippers getting ready to sail. |
|
To give the clippers a proper send off there was a group of stunt planes flying in formation. |
|
The river mersey is quite busy with shipping these days. The ferry Lagan Viking departed for Belfast while the clippers were getting ready to race. It sounded its horn when one of the planes got a little too close for comfort. |
 |
The clippers started sailing off into the distance. |
 |
The skippers of the clippers had to keep a look out to avoid a small tanker. Everyone was paying attention so the tanker passed without incident. |
 |
Victoria was one of the last clippers away. |
