A flotilla of models of some of the most graceful ships that ever sailed the seas will dock in Port Angeles and Port Townsend over the next two weeks.
The ships are arriving from all over the world for racing in the first race of the American Sail Training Association Tall Ships 2008 Challenge.
They’ll also stop off for festivals in Victoria and Tacoma, and have added a few races just for fun.
Continuing to be docked at City Pier in Port Angeles today is the Lynx, which arrived on Friday.
Dockside tours will be offered from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
A $5 donation is asked of adults, while children 12 and younger will be admitted free of charge.
An adventure sail is scheduled from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The cost is $65 for adults, with children 12 years old and younger charged $30.
The Lynx is expected to stay at City Pier through Tuesday.
The Bounty, built in 1960 for MGM’s “Mutiny on the Bounty,” was expected to arrive in Port Angeles on Friday, but had to stop for repairs.
On Saturday, Bill Larsen, the retired master of the Lady Washington, who lives in Port Angeles, said that the Bounty had just left Coos Bay, Ore., and was not likely to visit Port Angeles.
