Cracking pic and info there Ed. Years ago Niagara Falls was on my to-do list but I never made it. had to make do with the Marilyn Munroe film of the same name which showed it very well. Bet yourself and Chris had a fab time over there. Lesley made it to Niagara too...gosh we have great travellers here. Yes Colette we are doing our best, so keep up your cruise liner input..(them benches in the park looking good too! )
You dont need me to tell you that yesterday was a very gloomy day. However right on cue mother nature gave us a wee bit of brightness just on cue for the departure of the Saga Sapphire which had been shrouded in Arthurian mists all day. And here she is gliding away gently. There were one or two heavily anoraked passengers abroad on the deck at the time of the departure. No doubt struggling with runny red noses to say goodbye to Merry England.
In the foreground you have luxury cabin cruiser Symphony which has decided to stay out in harbour all night rather than enter into the marina. The marina involves extra charges so they might be short of the readies !!?
But seriously though...Symphony is still in position and looking good.
This picture above was taken during the eternal miserable grey of yesterday so i had to boost it up a bit...it was yesterday morning and you can see lots of vehicles waiting to depart, but alas alas no capacity. No ships there to take them nor were any immediately approaching. This I suppose is in keeping with that DHB said in their recent press releases, that they welcomed the addition to the Port of MFL because they gave just that very thing...extra capacity.
I am cheating ever so slightly here..there was actually one ship in.. way to the right missed by the camera. But the rest of the berths were empty. I suppose thats inevitable in any schedule but nevertheless it makes the point.
