Pics took a long time to load but well worth the wait.
The canal sequences were very interesting as were the action packed shots of the cliff divers and parasailing, and that was a wonderful sunset shot, topped only by the tall ship.

James, Those were wonderful pictures they took a while to load but they were well worth the wait. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice pics. I'd like to do that one day. Is that a Celebrity ship? Which one were you on?

Outstanding pictures.

I see lots of guys diving into the water, but I don't see any coming back OUT!

At least, that's what I'd be thinking if I was up on that cliff.

So I shouldn't say "Nice skirt fella?"

Spoken like a Marine.

In swabbie-speak, a submarine is the only ship that's a boat. I never quite figured out why.

Grant, I even heard one of the ordies from USS Forrestal who constantly referred to the vessel in that way. It is/was 325 m long, displaced over 80,000 tons, & I think was the biggest carrier since WWII [and before USS Enterprise CVN-65 and the Nimitz class]. But given the source, I decided education was not going to be successful---it wastes your time & annoys the pig, right?

I am referring to a particular ordie, not to present company BTW: Marines are educable, almost by definition.

I never could find out. It was NOT the Star of India, cause it was still moored. I only had a chance to talk to a few, before I got involved with helping out those that got burned out, so I will never know.
