for the above verbiage!

 

As we were walking down on the beach in Bonaire I saw the IJZERBORG at the dock, making me think of a dog on a long leash. I don't know but it seems to me that the bow line really isn't doing a lot, maybe Alex's Time Flying By can enlighten us a bit more?

 

Now that I take a second look that's actually a pier for a cruise ship, not a dock for loading and unloading. Maybe there's a fueler on the other side of her, giving her some go juice. I wonder if they offer to wash the windows as well?

 

The Caribbean sun really isn't a friend to photographers, the light is a lot like it is here in Arizona in the summer. Had I been thinking I would have used the Sunny 16 rule but when you're out and exploring there's no time to think!
