tall ships at navy pier





I took these Friday morning, on my walk to the Pier at the crack of 8:00 am. For some reason, the Pier's website lists this as the "Taste of Tall Ships" which is weird, I think, because I don't want to eat the boats, or even eat on them or near them. Still, they are quite nice to look at. Peaceful, and at that time of day, blessedly tourist-free.

They are only here for the weekend, and you have the chance to board them and sail on them (and possibly eat on them, too?) but I saw one of them had trouble late Friday afternoon, it was being pushed by a little dinghy back to the Pier. So maybe it's best just to admire them from a distance?
