Another photo from my archives before Covid when so much was taken for granted. The annual Festival of Sails which is the highlight of Labor Day weekend in the San Diego harbor is usually attended by approximately 125,000 people over the three-day event. I'm hoping the pandemic will have run its course after over two years and the festival will again resume this year.
In researching The Pilgrim, I was shocked to discover that in 2020 while it was docked in Dana Point it met its demise. "One of the most iconic visuals at Dana Point Harbor is no more, as Pilgrim, the resident tall ship at the Ocean Institute dock, keeled over in her slip overnight, it was announced on March 29. Pilgrim’s useful life was rendered over as a result."
Pilgrim, which measured 98 feet in length and had a beam of 24.6 feet, arrived in Dana Point as a replica in 1981.
I guess we all have an expiration date, even a Tall Ship.

Pilgrim Sands Beach was deserted while we were there, it could have been that rain was still following us this day.

In the comments with the previous picture, skiffs and the perilous nature of using them on open water were mentioned. Using a kayak is also dangerous, although the rower and his boat are one and sealed to prevent water ingress.
Editing this picture, I remembered both the 17th-century Christian allegory of the same name, written by John Bunyan, and the title of a John Le Carré ‘contemporary’ (1990) spy novel, the Secret Pilgrim.

Two pilgrims on the banks of the Rhine, gazing at Cologne Cathedral—one of the most important landmarks of the Christian West.
Religious symbolism meets modern infrastructure, quiet contemplation meets lively urban space.

St Albans Cathedral, Hertfordshire. A view along the wooden observation loft and into the Lady Chapel, both dating from around 1400. Pilgrims would enter the loft through the door, climb up the steps, arrive on a balcony-like platform and from there look down onto the shrine of Saint Albanus, thought to be Britain's first Christian martyr (sometime between 200 and 300 AD) when Rome ruled the island but Christianity was not yet the Roman state religion.

The Pilgrims' Way is the historical route supposedly taken by pilgrims from Winchester in Hampshire, England, to the shrine of Thomas Becket at Canterbury in Kent.

St Hywyn`s Church nestled in the picturesque bay of Aberdaron on the tip of the Llyn Peninsula in Wales. The 12th Century church marked the pilgrims` last stop on the way to the Abbey on Ynys Enlli or Bardsey Island, a significant site of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages.
