I watched one of the last ships departing. Who are the people on traveling on these tall ships? They looked like tourists to me. It was funny to see how many...
Guys, With all due respect, I believe that both of these comments are unfair. I worked at the Tall Ships as a dockhand for 5 days. Based on the feedback that I...
Hi All,  Ed, great reply. Thank you for sharing your "inside" view.  I think a lot of us feel that "compared to prior Sail Boston's" this one fell...
I have to agree with Ed, the Tall Ships was a tremendous success despite the attempts to sabotage it by politicians. The number of visitors speaks for itself,...
You do have a good point on the departure frustrations. As you probably know, due to political pressure the Coast Guard ordered the ships to keep a 2-mile...
I took my boat in and watched some depart. The were beautiful! Its a shame more people couldn't have seen them. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ... ...
Ed - you raise good points, and thank you for your kind and insightful reply. Indeed, my comment was not intended for the organizers of the event, and the...
I sympathize w/ your experience. But, being in the position of monitoring all those people has got to get pretty stale in a hurry. I can just imagine all the...

We pay and train the 'authorities' to be in the position of monitoring all those people and to field questions. We should expect the best, especially during an...
Thank you, Ed for doing the job, helping the event organizers. While the people on land had a blast waiting in line to see the ships on the first good day of...
I thought the Coast Guard did a great job enforcing their traffic plan . It was a well concieved plan and with the CG's on the water the the viewing areas on...

The prior visits feature a "parade of sail" where the tall ships moved through the harbor at relatively close spacing. The ships unfurled their sails and put...
Well written Barry, that is a very good summary of the history of Sail Boston. With those politics behind us, the week I spent volunteering as the Dockmaster...
I'm glad you included that "to be fair..." section in what you wrote. Too many of the discussions I've heard on this have painted the Mayor as the sole reason...
