Still can’t get over how surreal the whole thing felt. Standing there surrounded by all those majestic ships, music in the air, and just this overwhelming sense of being part of something timeless. It was one of those rare moments where everything just felt... bigger than life.

Honestly, I didn’t expect to be so moved by it, but it was magical. There’s something incredibly peaceful and yet powerful about watching those massive sails glide by. It felt like stepping into another world for a while — one I didn’t want to leave.

It was the kind of experience that sticks with you — the colors, the sounds, the energy. Everyone was smiling, strangers were talking like old friends, and I just felt completely swept up in the moment. Pure joy from start to finish.
