This year's group of Tall Ship girls have become known amongst the instructors as beacons of fair weather and tonight was no exception. The event started around 3:30pm when the newly created sailing vessel Hiromi-Maru was launched into aquatic park. There was a fair breeze, so the first launching was in rowboat form; quickly, the breeze decrease to perfect launching weather and the Hiromi-Maru went for her first sail. A beautiful sight!
After the boat launch, the weather continued to be uncharacteristically balmy as family and friends gathered on the historic Balclutha to hear graduation speeches from the girls. They did a fantastic job and we concluded the evening with celebratory cake. Congratulations to the class of 2009!
