The inspiration for this weeks theme was 'les Tonnerres de Brest'! Really looking forwad to spend the weekend at this great boat show. I have stolen the description from the event's website as I could not have done a better one myself.
"With more than 2,500 boats from the four corners of the world, every four years a million visitors come to witness this incredible journey.Every four years, the harbour in Brest is the setting for a display from another era, before an audience of boating enthusiasts. With its floating cathedrals, this nautical mass attracts up to a million worshippers. Some 30 countries are invited to each festival and for one week Brest is transformed into the biggest port in the world. Over 7 kilometres, the quaysides roll out the red carpet to hundred-year-old sailing boats and other remarkable vessels. An invincible armada, with around 20,000 sailors parading their uniforms to the tune of dozens of musical performances and the backdrop of villages draped in the colours of the world. Watch the races or admire the boats in action, climb aboard and even go out to sea ... everything is designed to make the Brest Maritime Festival a global exhibition of the maritime world."
