Hi all .

Today Cork harbour welcomed the

 CLIPPER ROUND THE WORLD RACE

The ten yachts gave us all a fantastic site as they produced a tight parade of sail into the harbour and

up to Cobh and the Irish naval base.

Here they dropped sail and then motored up the river Lee to Cork city for a two day reception.

The boats leave on friday for the next leg of their world race .
