9 June OPSAIL 2012 Parade of Sail

Chess at the Helm as the Bell leaves Port for the Parade of Sail. Tall ships from around the world arrived in Hampton Roads for OPSAIL 2012 - each ship escorted by one of the Sailing Clubs/associations in the Tidewater Area. Navy Sailing escorted the 4-masted 370ft Spanish schooner Juan sebastian De Elcano. The Belle looked classy, sailed great, and crew had a fabulous time as hundreds of sailboats converged on Norfolk's Waterside area. With Fireboat sprays and jet overflights setting the stage, the mighty sailboat procession was an experience to remember.
