The
Sailabration in Baltimore this year was an event that was not to be
missed! Fun for the whole family, tall
ships from around the world sailed into port, most of them were government or
coast guard ships from other countries, and we were all allowed to visit and go
on board! During the day time it was a
history and culture lesson in the making.
This was the perfect event to take a child to and have them learn about
different countries, cultures and the fundamentals of sailing. Everyone working and crewing aboard had a
special story to tell about how they sailed to Baltimore and the journey that
lead them there. Learning about the
journey and experience was just as fun as learning about the boat and seeing
all of the fun aspects of a historic tall ship.
The
evening was none the less of a huge party where each country’s boat would have an
elaborate celebration on board. The
boardwalk in Inner Harbor Baltimore was crowded with live music and people
celebrating. The tall ship from Columbia
had live salsa music and was going strong into the wee hours of the night. The tall ship from El Salvador had an elaborate
ball and dinner happening, and everything would be watched and spectated, which
made it fun for tourists and passer byers.
The Sailabration was truly an event for people of all ages. There was something fun and entertaining for
everyone to do and see. It was a
celebration not only of sailing and tall ships but bringing different countries
and cultures together. It was a great
family environment as well as a great party scene! It was an event that was too good to be
missed! So if you didn’t make it to
Baltimore this year, don’t miss out next time!
