Day 161: Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Part 9

Monday, June 11, 2012

Sunset.  It is billed as a Sunset Dinner Cruise, after all!  Note the other sailboat on the horizon. *** I don’t know if it deliberately ran in front of the sun or not, but it is a big ocean to sail in… *** Our Captain. One of the crew took these for us. She hit […]

Day 158: Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Part 6

Sunday, June 10, 2012

We had been motoring into the wind to this point, so we could get up to the Napali Coast, see it, and return, to see the sun set nearer to the dock we started from.  But now we raised the sails!  Or rather, this member of the crew did. We also turned back downwind about […]

Day 125: The Napali Coast…the other way?

Wednesday, May 2, 2012

After cruising the length of the Napali Coast, the NCL Pride of America turned around and sailed back the other way, past Lihue on the way to Oahu.  So the folks on the other side of the ship got to see the Napali Coast under the setting sun, and I took sunset photos.  It got […]

Day 97: Leaving Maui in the Evening…

Thursday, April 5, 2012

Sometime after the whales ceased their show, we slowly left the dock to cruise on to our next stop. The thrusters that all of the cruise ships now have sure make docking and undocking look easy: no tugboats needed!  But they sure stir up a mess… This is the port arrival building we had to […]

Day 93: Maui! pt 2

Tuesday, April 3, 2012

Of course, more waterfalls! Another view: There isn’t much to do in Hana…it is just a great, friendly, remote place to live.  The road in was a burro trail until WWII.  It wasn’t paved until the 1970’s, and then only as one lane most of the time.  We had lunch at a nice gift shop […]

Monday, April 2, 2012

After we had passed Waikiki and gotten a bit further on, you could look back to see Diamond Head nestled amongst the diamonds… ~Curtis in Hawai’i! {!-{>

Day 90!

Day 89: Onboard the Pride of America!

Monday, April 2, 2012

It was a very orderly boarding of the Pride of America, but we still had about a three and a half hour wait until our stateroom was ready.  The ship carries 2200-2400 passengers, and all of those staterooms have to be cleaned and refitted between about 10am and 3pm.  We looked around a bit, and […]
