Fleet Week & OpSail 2012
May 29th, 2012 by ninja
This year’s Fleet Week was even more fabulous due to OpSail bringing a variety of historic sailboats and military ships to three locations in New York. Most of them – over 10! – literally docked in our back yard at Piers 7 and 8 of the Marine Terminal, Brooklyn. We went for two separate strolls on this increasingly hot Memorial Day weekend (88°F/31°C … felt like 95°/35°C due to humidity). At this age, the kids’ enthusiasm for big guns is still unrelated to an otherwise pacifist upbringing, but in the end, a broken water pipe on the Pier trumped it all.
