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.

I seem to remember that James and I had this same conversation a wee while ago.I do hope he did not upset the Captain too much by calling his SHIP a boat.Perhaps James spent the cruise "clapped in irons".

Does the tall ship in San Diego Harbor have a name? Is it privately owned or just visiting or what?

The boat was the Celebrity line's Infinity. It floats pretty good!
I took over 500 shots on my digital, but you guys got the cream.
How cool is that. I was thinking that our first cruise was on the same class ship w/ Celebrity a few years ago. I was wrong though....we sailed on the same SHIP. lololol Just floated around the Carribean though. No Panama adventures.

I think you're talking about The Star of India. It's a floating museum, of sorts, they take it out on the bay and sail around in it on special occasions.

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.
