A Mexican Navy training ship recently visited Melbourne and being a nautical nut i paid her no less than three visits and it is just as well i did as the fical Melbourne weather was being its usual self,



In full sun at the pier

Notice how the sails are furled a real nice touch
Image
And then when i went to watch her depart three days later, it rained, hailed and blew a gale ahhhh Melbourne
Image
But the Mexicans didnt waiver in their duty, they all manned their posts
Image
It had to be very cold out on those yards

That first shot is an absolute corker... Really enjoy the perspective you've got on this... A magnificent vessel...

Those guys manning the posts in the last couple, strewth! Now that's keen!

Nice shots, reminds me of Sydney during the bicentennial celebrations (I was only 14....). Great colours in that first image.

You'd think the Mexicans would have something more modern in the arsenal though.... :lol:
