I learn something new everyday on these threads. Thanks, Copper.

 

Where it gets interesting with dolphins is where they are not connected to the pier and a 'linesboat' has to drop off a linesman who will then use an attached metal ladder to climb on the dolphin and attach, or remove, the mooring line(s). Kralendijk, Bonaire is one of those. Luckily that was not the case in San Juan with the Epic incident as that particular linesman would have only one place to go

Going to try to see some in between.

Li s are mostly down but the crew gangway is still in place

[Copper10-8]

Couple of late arriving pax towing a wheeled suit case just went up the crew gangway; lucky

[65 Gator]

[Krazy Kruizers]

They're in their parked/stowed position. Port guys will take them away later unless another ship is renting them tomorrow again; lucrative business!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Can't stay any longer -- have to get dinner out of the oven.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Wishing all the Koningsdam passengers a great cruise.

[65 Gator]

"Only" ?

I'd take that in a nano second and be wearing my sandals 😉 

 

It's well below freezing here.  Not as cold as it could be so the ice pellets can do their work and then we go back to deep freeze and frostbite warning weather.  And all the ice that goes with it 😞. I am so TIRED of cleaning up ice 😞
