  1. Or you see if anyone on your Roll Call is organizing any interesting private tours. Usually a lot cheaper than HAL tours. There is a link at top left of this page.
  2. Even as an old geezer, if there is a water slide I'll try it. Would like to try the flow rider like on Ovation but it was too crowded so had to settle for the water slides. If I got the opportunity in the future to try a flow rider it would be on a boogie board on which I am proficient, I would take too long getting to my feet on a surfboard these days - had to sell mine. Having said that, I also have a preference for smaller ships but, for me, a greater priority is the itinerary.
  3. It is a common misconception that batteries require rare earth metals. This has come about due to lithium batteries being used in vehicles where compactness and mobility are required. There have been many advances in other types of energy storage. One type of battery is what is known as a solar flow battery using zinc bromine. These two minerals are common, cheap, fire safe (very important) and recyclable and are powering small towns, homes, and mobile phone towers in remote areas. Perhaps they may provide solar energy storage for ships of the future. Who knows? There is an Australian company producing these. https://redflow.com/
  4. Thank you for the NZ connection. Next pic.
  5. We used to build models of battleships when we were kids and knew many of the parts and functions of warships. The Graf Spee and Bismark and the HMS Hood were among the most popular models. It is a range finder from the Graf Spee which was scuttled off S America in WW2. It is in Motevideo. More info for history buffs.
  6. Trying not to scuttle this but it's too late.
  7. Correct. Your turn The answer was right there on the left. It's a great spot for sunsets. A few posts ago there was a request(?) for pretty pictures. Here's another.
  8. No worries. Had to go to a meeting tonight, just got home. Looking for a pic now. Name this lake.
  9. That's all I've got. It just looked a little familiar from when I was down that way two years ago on a motorcycle tour.
