A superb morning at the "Marratime Festival"

My family had a great time this morning at Whitehaven Festival 2013. There are four tall ships and two Royal Navy patrol boats in the harbour, all open to the public for a small fee giving access to the relevant "tongue" (jetty), a huge variety of market stalls selling food from all round the world and a variety of other products, display stands from the armed forces and various charities and companies,  and a large number of fairground stalls and rides.

Weather has been quite mild so far - there was some rain in the early morning but from mid-morning to lunchtime it has been dry and quite a comfortable temperature, if a little windy. A large number of visitors are enjoying the festival, which continues until tomorrow (Sunday) evening.
