I think those white trucks are just toying with us now.

That would be Navigation officers from the Bridge in charge of the mooring deck, Leon

Me too! Although, I am wishing I was back on her. I miss my usual haunts and the chocolate croissants.

The only Vista I have not sailed on. Hopefully, that will change some day.

 

She's the best Vista in the fleet IMO Chief - you gotta go, especially if the right Captain is on and she's tooting. It's just great. Toots here and there and shows in a number of ports or saying good bye to the pilots.

 

In the ports where he is not supposed to, he said his finger "sticks" sometimes. LOL

She's not going anywhere until the Stadt Bremen passes her up the ICW, Your Honor. But she is starting to "single up" her lines

[ger_77]

I love watching the lines go loose.

[PathfinderEss]

Lines coming down.

Right, I saw that behemoth . . . slowly lumbering in front of the ship of the day !

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)
