Which Beach?

[MicCanberra]

Just the merry weather there is making me feel good, seeing a cruise ship is even better, the Princess heading for her new home perhaps.

[lyndarra]

Somewhere near Horbart?

New home, no. 

Just a day visit.

Not Hobart.

Those rocks in the foreground are infamous.

Very much unlike the Pasha - later known as the Drake and now as the Anthea. Pasha couldn't stick the turn and only got a 2.5 for the wave.

 

So, the beach would be .....?

Nobby's?

Nearly, but close enough. Newcastle Beach - Nobby's is on the other side of those rocks, infamous for playing host to Pasha Bulker.

 

Photo was of Grand Princess approaching Newcastle Harbour yesterday morning, taken by local surf legend Dave Anderson. I did see some bits of the ship from work yesterday, but would have loved to have been there.

 

Next!

Some of the first photos I took on my new Nokia phone was of the Pasha Bulker. It looked massive, even from streets away, towering above the landscape. Made one wonder why was this huge ship in the city.

Dave Anderson surf reports, I think he still does them.

Stand by for new pic.

Not me. I don't own a long sleeve white shirt and black tie.

Your turn.

Not that I want it back so soon, but it is an iconic shot.

Yes, early mornings on ABC, at least.

 

PS: This is the caption that went with the photo. Yes it is the ship, but not a correct description of the photo.

"The Princess cruise ship docked in Newcastle this morning"

Yes thats it. The Maid of the Mist boats are now electric and fully recharge while unloading/loading passengers.

One of those magical days in port during a cruise, and your tour is upgraded by an out of season snow dump.

Juneau?

[Mareblu]

Looks like majestic Canada.  I agree.  Perhaps White River?

Think a popular excursion from another Alaskan cruise port.

Not quite in Canada. Close to Canada, but not quite.

White Pass, out of Skagway

It sure was a White Pass Mic. All the way up the climb to Fraser (in Canada) there was snow and a carload of Aussies loving it. A really beautiful experience, holy ship, over 11 years ago when our dollar was king.

 

All yours!
