Busy Portland harbour by gilbertwood

Busy Portland harbour

Spent the day in Portland (1 hour west of here) where we met with friends and had lunch overlooking the harbour. There was a lot of action happening in the harbour :) The tall ship in the middle is a replica of The Endeavour which was Captain Cook's ship that discovered Australia. You can join the crew over summer periods and experience sailing departing from various cities from Sydney to Adelaide. The main crew are doing some training exercises here before the organised trips start :)
What's the little ketch in the centre Denise?

You have no idea how exotic it sounds to me to sit with friends at lunch and view this harbor!

There is something about the sea that stirs my heart, probably through my Mother who was born on the coast. Lovely capture.

@terryliv @cutekitty Sorry I forgot to mention the tall ship - I was a bit tired last night! it is a replica of the Endeavour (Captain Cook's ship that discovered Australia) and you can join of the crew on organised trips over summer departing from various cities along the coast from Sydney to Adelaide. They are training the main crew here at present :)

@hermann I just added a description of this ship as I found people were asking about it! I was tired last night! Big day in Portland, then dinner with my youngest daughter when we got home :)

Fabulous capture, love the composition and variety of vessels. Tried to identify the "cruise ship" and came to the conclusion it was more likely a live cattle ship. Fav
