I sure enjoyed your pictures! I got an unexpected "joy jolt" in seeing the picture of the Nassau Hilton from the Victory. Before I had ever taken my first cruise, I had the privilege of speaking at a women's retreat in that hotel. We were up on the second floor in a spacious room facing the water. Suddenly I became aware no one was looking at me; everyone was looking out the windows behind me. So I stopped and looked; a very large cruise ship was doing a 360 to either dock or depart, and it was fascinating, not to mention distracting! I remember thinking, "I could swim to that ship!"

 

Now, looking at your picture, I can see I wasn't exaggerating. You COULD swim from the Hilton's beach to a ship!

 

Thanks!

Great photos. I particularly like the tugboat shots. Most people skip them; but I used to work around tugs and it interesting to see them in other countries and all.

 

Thanks!
