Festival Day 4 – Sun 29th May
Couldn't see the band but that's better |
We
finally managed to enjoy some of the live music sitting with a beer
in the sunshine. Sunny again! Must be a record. A lot of sea shanties
we know and a few we don't, and then we had good seats to watch the
parade go by. We didn't see the marching band for the crowd in the
way but had no trouble seeing what followed.
Even taller |
The tallest chaps got onto their stilts via the harbour office window |
One
hour before the festival was due to end the skies opened (my fault –
I was wearing my Monsoon jacket again) and the public disappeared as
if by magic. We lurked in a bar (hardship!) until there was a lull
and then made it back to Bonify just in time to join in with the
chorus of ship's whistles which closes the event.
Dates
of next year's Oostende voor Anker: 25th
to 28th
May.
