Tall Ships in Cold Spring

Sunday I went to the Tall Ships event in Cold Spring, New York. This event was organized for the quadricentennial celebration of the State of New York. With no idea what to expect it turned out to be an awesome day. Many families were having picnics along the shores of the Hudson River awaiting the tall ships to come through. There were local bands playing and people selling locally produced wines and other stuff. I started with a Mojito Popsicle which was just the thing I needed for this hot and sunny day. After this delightful treat I went over to the wine booth where I sampled different wines produced in the Hudson Valley. At first I was very reluctant trying these wines as I am mostly used to European wines, and I must confess the wines I tried were very good but I wouldn’t say excellent. Then I realized it was already 4.00 ‘o’clock and the ships could get in any moment. So as everybody else I went to the waterfront and within the next few minutes I saw the first signs of the Half Moon. There were several boats including the half moon, Clearwater and many other prestigious ships. Bands such as Painted Betty, the Buddy Traina Band and Purple Knif continued playing until eight ‘o’clock and I absolutely loved it. For me this was a very relaxing day with a great atmosphere. This event sets high expectations for the music series in Cold Spring this summer and I really hope it will have the same relaxing atmosphere as today, but knowing Debbie Darman (the woman in the floral dress) the corporate responsibilities officer of MKT Works who planned and organized this event. I know the organization is in good hands.
