twangster Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 This is going to be a twist on a cruise live blog. I've captured thousands of pictures of ships so this time I'm pointing my camera elsewhere as I cruise. I'm not even sure where I'm going with this yet so be prepared for a blog with no story or time line. I'm going to post pictures as the creative juices bring them to me. Posts may be frequent or not. We'll see how this goes. I'll probably span more than one cruise and I might even dip into the photo vault once in a while.

twangster Posted March 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 I'll start with some pics after boarding Harmony in Port Canaveral. I really like Port Canaveral for it's ease of access and interesting stuff beyond just the cruise terminal. Cape Canaveral's VAB or Vehicle Assembly Building. This building screams "Space Shuttle" but will soon say "Artemis". There are helicopter rides offered around Port Canaveral. I've done a couple, they are fun and it's neat seeing the ship from the air. Lots of wildlife here. Some perspective where I am taking this series of pictures from. The LNG fuel ship that refills that LNG ship used by that other cruise line. They fill the fuel barge in Savannah, GA and float it down here to resupply the ship. Perhaps one day this same fuel barge or one just like it will be servicing a Royal Caribbean ship here.

Yesiamthere Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Bring it on! One day of pictures should capture “a whole day” from when you rise out of bed in the morning until you turn your lights off that evening. By your pictures we should be able to experience, without words, a day in the life of twangster CravingaCruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted March 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 I watched a SpaceX booster rocket coming back to port from a recent launch. It lands on a barge like this at sea and they float back to the port where it gets offloaded and hauled to the space port. They are landing some rocket boosters back at the Cape on land, it depends on the mission and operating parameters for each launch.

twangster Posted March 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Sailing out of St. Maarten we passed Rhapsody of the Seas at anchor.

twangster Posted March 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Continuing on this moon theme, the moon also sets . This morning there was a small gap in the clouds on the horizon as we made our way into St. Thomas. As we sailed into St. Thomas I watched a small plane land just before sunrise. Little did I know at the time I had captured that small plane in the silhouette of the moon. Look closely. Sunrise over St. Thomas.
