BE Cuauhtemoc from Mexico 3/14/09

After a day of rain, there was finally blue sky so I went to check out the Tall Ship from Mexico en route to Japan on a six months voyage. It's a magnificent ship that carries some 275 sailors and it was open to the public before it leaves on Monday.
The sailors where climbing the mast to get rain water out of its sails.These sailors climb high up on the sails. They made it look effortless.Since the ship was too large to fit in my 16mm lens, I got the bright idea to go to the top of Aloha Tower. Unfortunately, the building blocked the entire ship..Argh!!
