Arrival of the MIR

2008.09.30
On this week, the tallships participating in Funchal 500 Tallships Regatta 2008 started to arrive at Madeira.
It was a tall ship competition organized for the city's 500 Years celebrations.
This day, I went to the roof of my work and noticed russian tallship MIR was arriving...

Earlier that day, as I was heading to work noticed that other ships had already arrived.
In this case, the world's biggest tallship: Sedov, also from Russia.

Although it was backlight, had to make a pic of "our" tallship, the portuguese "Creoula".
Too bad the other one "NRP Sagres" couldn't came also. Was somewhere around South Africa...
