Tall Ships Race Signing, Hartlepool

Posted Monday, 09 August, 2010 by Pete Underhill

I had no idea that the Tall Ships event is such a big occasion. I got to the marquee where the signing took place a few minutes before I was due to start and a queue had already formed, so it was straight into it.

Nice to see so many familiar faces and also great to meet some people for the first time.

I scribble and signed stuff between 11.30am until 4.30pm. It always goes so fast. I did have a 'minder' to ensure I didn't babble to everyone for too long, so the queue was kept moving.

A good day and I didn't make anybody cry. The one little girl in tears was already upset when she got to me, honest.
