June 12, 2012 ::: Operation Sail, OPSAIL 2012, 200 year celebration Norfolk Harbor

For the pass in review portion of OPERATION SAIL 2012 we took SONATA to Hospital Point, just near Bouy 36. There we were in the center of the event and all the passing ships came just past us. This photo was sent to us by Scott, believe it was captured by the Virginian-Pilot newspaper.

The Coast Guard vessel EAGLE passing just beside SONATA.

This sailing vessel, from Peru, passed with their sailors on the yardarms.

After watching the passing ships and the fireworks of the evening we visited the BOUNTY which was docked pierside, pier A, at Ocean Marine.
