Rare makai 7 Posted May 9, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Our local shipping port is now home to the Regent Explorer for the next few months. We have a really good view from my community across the icw. https://www.fbnewsleader.com/local-news/cruising-nowherefor-now Too bad they don't stop here or cruise from here. It's a great little town and less than 40 minutes from JIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply asking. Many things that are asked on CC could be answered by using Bing or Google. Most of us that know the answer find it easier (and more polite) just to respond to the poster.

That was a simple reply and now we ALL know where FD Beach is. No need to get snippy....we've all got enough other problems without being snide on CC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is near, however, Amelia Island Plantation which is a resort on Amelia Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the ship is on the island, I am sure it’s in the water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discussion was regarding Fernandina Beach which is ON Amelia Island. I give up; I am glad I am somewhat selective regarding trivia team onboard; of course, Kwaj Girl is the expert in trivia; I am just a wannabe. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcandkc Posted May 9, 2020 #11 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I’m glad we don’t join a trivia team anymore. We “play” just the 2 of us. Not official or graded 😀. We have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have fun. We gave up trivia a few years ago. People were so rude if you were sitting in a seat that they sat in the day before. We had been on a few teams that were great but other teams went ballistic if an answer was wrong. Not worth the headache. We are there to have fun - not to worry about who was sitting where or afraid to suggest answer lest we be blasted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare makai 7 Posted May 10, 2020 Author #15 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Hi gabelle She is docked at the Port of Fernandina Beach (Florida). It is just north of the Marina. A short walk from downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuba diver Posted May 15, 2020 #18 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Technically not "blocked", but "ignored". Scroll up to your screen name on the right hand upper corner of page. Click on it to bring up a list of options. Click on "Ignored Users" and follow instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of blocking, you have to really not want to read what is being posted since you will see every time that the blocked poster posts and won’t know what is being said. Maybe I just have too much curiosity (and no - curiosity does it kill the cat). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just have too much curiosity (and no - curiosity does it kill the cat). No curiosity for me - I can scroll right by the 'hidden post' notices and not even blink. BTW, I should send you some pictures of our new addition to the family - Louis the seal-point ragdoll cat. He's about 7 months now and VERY curious. Mostly curious as to why he went to the vet last month and came home later minus a few, uh, baubles he'd had hanging around...but that's a topic for a different thread...
