    Hey everyone, I don't know if this constitutes a seperate thread, but the re-enactment of the Battle of Lake Erie took place yesterday and about 15 tall ships were in attendance, and the weather was picture perfect for the activities.

    It was great fun, and it really makes you think about how things were back in the day. Those ships are incredible, and while I'm a Motoryachter at heart, and love to operate them, it's pretty impressive to see how these ships are.

    Thanks Keith!
