Greetings, according to The Log there will be a mock "battle" between four tall ships outside L A Harbor/ San Pedro Sat. Dec 29 2012. Our ( L.A.) official tall ships, Irving & Exy Johnson, will take on Washington State based Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain in a 19th century-style cannon "battle". War starts at 2pm. Tickets to crew on the ships can be purchased for $60-adults, $50-seniors, $40-kids 12 and under. If your on the water to watch,I would suggest staying clear of the business end of the cannons, as a couple of months ago a crew person aboard a tall ship was shot when someone accidentally (?) loaded a cannon with buckshot! She refused to be taken back to port for medical treatment till after the battle!( just a flesh wound sir) talk about taking one or a few for the team! Any way looks like fun, maybe the So. Cal. Ericson flotilla should be rounded up just in case Irving& Exy need some back-up. I hope the weather co-operates with these fronts that have been moving through. Weather permitting I'll be out, Maluhia has the green cove stripe.
