Yesterday we witnessed the finish of the Tall Ships race in Flushing, an impressive sight. The race was part of a year round event commemorating the 400th anniversary of admiral Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter.
Our host, Multraship, had arranged for a small boat to bring its clients as close as possible to the ships which resulted in some nice pictures.
