Russian boat ABOC6 (Avos').
She had been hauled up from underwater, in a dreadful condition that has barely improved. Sailed all the way from Russia. Quite a feat.

Trying to make some money selling those typical Soviet and traditional items.

Quite a rare sight, the two French Navy schooners, l'Etoile et la Belle-poule docked side by side.

The bow flags bear the Cross of Lorraine, a reminder of the two boats' service in the Free French Navy.

L'Etoile has white pullies, Belle-poule's are varnished.

They better hurry up to show up at the "Hansesail" like they always do.
I won't be there though this year - too much hussle and too much party (Rollercoaster-stuff and too many Bier and Bratwurst booth's).

Thanks for the photos, Eric. Now I have that silly song running through my mind...

Fish heads, Fish heads,
Lovely, lovely fish heads.
Fish heads, fish heads,
Eat them up, yumm!
