Six more weeks of winter -

Groundhog Day 2021: Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter - CBS News

 

I wish Phil could accurately predict when cruising will start again. cancelling more cruises seems very groundhog dayish.

You are going to wake up to a cruise ban.

@MicCanberra I found a better one.

There are plenty of cruises happening, you just need to broaden your definitions.

I did what I usually do on Saturday arvo - went windsurfing.

Starting to get the hang of it.

Cruising on a small scale. Wot? No bar?

It was very light yesterday. I had my biggest sail up and did get a few good runs or "flights" as they are called when the board is clear of the water. Flights? Cruising? Hmmm.

Travelling over water is still fun by the look of it.

The other day I heard that there was an incident involving a military helicopter on a training flight colliding with a cruise-ship in Sydney Harbour. I thought, how? There are no cruiseships in Sydney Harbour at this time.

Seems it was a Captain Cook vessel, hired for the exercise. Do the vessels plying the Harbour cruise market qualify as ships?  I have been told that many cruiseship captains get upset if you call their vessel a boat (keel-hauling was one punishment I heard mentioned), so am keen to know the line of demarcation between a ship & a boat 😮

Old proverb.

'You can put a boat on a ship but you can't put a ship on a boat.'

Begs the question. Can you put a ship on a bigger ship?

That is the quote that I have heard ship's captains use. And yes, you can put a ship on a bigger ship but maybe I am being a smart ar.. I am referring to 'lift ships'.

Do lift ships have a lift operator, and do they stop at all the floors.....lol

 

on groundhog day... I must say every day does seam the same. at the moment

not going anyway.... sun comes up, wait a while, then it goes down...

 

Boat vs ship..... liner vs cruiseship   

and bus vs coach.....  bus driver vs coach captain

 

One day in the distance future... when one is on a cruise...

what will we think about these times... or simply we will have another drink....

Poor reporting by the media again Neil. They would not know the difference between QM2 and a Sydney Harbour Ferry. capt cook cruises are rip off tourist junks.
 

Years ago my kids gave us chrissie pressies,  cruise and dinner on Capt Cook boat. On boarding the restaurant manager led us straight to the buffet and told us to eat before the hordes. 198 Asian tourists on board and us, i understood why we got good service. I later saw the tourists at the buffet, nuff said.
