People enjoy tall ships from all over the world at Norfolk's Waterside.

I’m not sure when the last time it was that I so many people at Waterside. OpSail 2012 brought so many people to downtown Norfolk, including myself. Families, couples, people of all ages, races, and demographics were in attendance for the big event. From the WAVY tent I had an awesome view of the festivities. Beautiful tall ships from all over the world graced the waters of the Elizabeth River. I spotted crews of many different nationalities throughout the crowd as they ventured off their ships. Children played, people enjoyed food, drinks, and live music. It was definitely a great sight to see from the WAVY tent. But what I enjoyed most was seeing how much love people had for the station. As people stopped by they expressed to us how much they loved watching the show. At the end of that hot Saturday I felt even more proud to where my WAVY-TV 10 intern badge!
