Only 16 Days To Go,

then you can visit the Tall Ships in Lerwick, like this one, the Gulden Leeuw, (Golden Lion), I just wish we could be there, although I am not to sure if Diana would share my enthusiasm for tall ships! but for anyone of a mind to go there is still time, their course was expected to take them around the west coast to Greenock, Scotland, yesterday, but bad weather forced them to head eastwards and sail along the Celtic Sea, the westerly course would have taken the ships an estimated five days to reach Greenock, while the first of the vessels is expected to get there by Wednesday, a cruise from Greenock to Lerwick in Shetland will follow, while the second race will be from Lerwick to Stavanger, in Norway, the third and final race will bring the fleet to Halmstad, Sweden in the first week in August, a fair wind to them all, but check the timings if you decided to go, the wind can be a fickle mistress!
