Once again, Southern California's premier marine educational facility, the Ocean Institute, located on the shores of the Pacific in the harbor at Dana Point, will stage its 28th annual Tall Ships Parade at sunset.  A record nine tall ships from ports up and down the west coast will assemble off the shores of South Laguna, and under full sail make way for Dana Point's beautiful harbor, firing their cannons along the way.  Those who have seen these magnifiicent ships in previous years know the surreal wonderment that this sight offers.  For those who will witness this spectacular event for the first time, it will be an experience never to be forgotten.
