I'm trying to figure out when, between now and Saturday, I can make it to see Sail Den Helder. The tall ships have arrived from the tall ship races and I've heard my neighbors singing the praises of the beautiful sailing vessels lined up there.

Organizers listed the total number of ships in port at 76 vintage vessels. I'd be happy just seeing 4 or 5 of these beauties. A nice train ride north from Amsterdam and I'll be in Den Helder in no time. Hopefully I won't miss the parties!
