Pearl from Castle Island leaving Boston

[Cruising Lynne]

Guess we must have missed Pearl already. We just got off her a week ago. Drove to Castle Island yesterday to see her off. It was a beautiful sunny day. Lots of people there enjoying the park and beach. Others were waving to people they knew on the ship.

Second photo shows a Boston Police boat that was going ahead of the ship to clear the channel. The police boat was going very fast, and at one point came very close to the small pier we were watching from and tried to splash us. I quickly backed up, but the people next to us felt the spray.

 

Third photo shows a ferry boat that appeared to be racing the ship. I was surprised how close it got to the ship. It did win the race!

When we were at Castle Island, we parked and walked around Fort Independence to the pier showing above the fort in the image below.
