You make it look so easy! I wish I was on the ship and going someplace warm.

Où va-t-il ce paquebot ? Qui sait?!
Il ne doit pas faire chaud à New-York avec 7 petits degrés malgré le beau soleil qui brille !
Je regarde tous les jours ton Local Weather !

What a great set of photos, Eliane.

Ahhahahaha! But that's a comfy maneuver! Here, in Boston, banging a uey can get tight. >8D

Lori said...

That is cool. I have trouble parking a car, so I could never maneuver a big ship like that. I wonder where it was going. Great shot!

Willa said...

J'ai de la difficulté à stationner une auto dans un jeu sur le web, j'ose à peine m'imaginer à la barre de ce gigantesque navire!

I love it!! Great view!

wow. it must have taken you some time to shoot today's post!

thanks for your patience!

out of curiosity, how long did it take for the cruise ship to make a turn?

•gwen: thank you! I believe this one is heading your way.
•clueless: I hear you. I think this is exactly where that boat is going.
•claudine: ce genre de bateau de croisière se dirige généralement vers les Caraïbes. Aha, je regarde mon blog pour voir le temps qu'il fait aussi! Y a rien à faire mais les celcius me parlent toujours mieux que les farenheits.
•jilly: thank you.
•fénix: hum... right... did you see the size of the beast? As a point of comparaison, the one in your picture is probably about the size at the little shuttles that you see behind it, coming from NJ.
•lori: I think it is going to the Caribbean. I have a colleague who sits on that side and can tell you the schedules and destinations.
•willa: je n'ose pas y penser.
•andrew: pretty cool, eh?
•keropok: not that long actually. Less than ten minutes.

WendyB said...

These are great! And now I know how to steer my big ship, so also educational!

Olivier said...

•ming: thanks. I always forgot about those cruise ships.

•wendy: lol! Educational was what I was going for.

•olivier: non. Il est à Brooklyn maintenanant. Mais tu as tout à fait raison: c'était sa place avant. Bien vu!
