Stormy Bay

After doing some more housework and "computerizing", we drove into town to do errands. We ran into Shannon at Sam's Club.

The most interesting and exciting thing was that there was another cruise ship in at the Maritime Academy. There was a fierce wind out of the north, and that always makes the bay full of white caps and high waves. The cruise ship was using two small shuttle boats to ferry passengers between the ship and the shore. The wind was so strong, and the waves were so high that these shuttle boats were really rocking and rolling around out there. It did not look like a pleasant ride at all! I felt sorry for the passengers. The cruise ship kept turning to try to shelter the small boats from the wind so they could load and unload safely. Dick took some pictures, and I was glued to the binoculars. It was quite exciting for our little town. The cruise ship was named Columbus, out of Nassau.
Cruising

We ate lunch at the U and I - most enjoyable.
