Lots and lots and lots of boats!

Look at all the boats! This is the Commonwealth Flotilla of over 250 boats which sailed up the Clyde today to celebrate the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. We didn't get to see the boats coming up the river as we were having a whale of the time at the rugby sevens, however we went down to Pacific Quay to see them afterwards. They looked absolutely stunning with all their flags fluttering!

This looks like the start of the Mack race.

That must be an amazing spectacle! It's great to see so many boats on the Clyde again.

We keep looking at things and wondering if you're there watching!

So far we've been to the rugby sevens, seen the flotilla and watched the marathon runners as they came through the park beside our house. S&R have also been to some of the theatre events in town. Later in the week we've got two lots of athletics tickets and hoping to catch some of the other things going on around the city. The atmosphere right across the city is fabulous!

*nods* You were mentioned in despatches this morning when we heard the marathon route. Knew you'd be there.

It really was spectacular! And all the boat crews looked like they were having a whale of a time.
