Not the Full Boat that the poker players in the audience were looking for!
When we hit Grenada things were looking good on the weather front. It was a bit cloudy but the rain showers had passed by so hopefully we would have a dry day.
With any luck it was a great day for these folks who were headed out on a tour of some sort, but we definitely had different plans. We'd been here before and we knew where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do....
PS:
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. For some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!
Being by the ocean always puts a smile on her face!
As we were walking to board the ship Niccy stopped for a moment and I fired off a quick shot. Being by the ocean always makes her happy, especially since she grew up on the beaches of Durban. I've always thought it was good for a person to get a little Vitamin Sea, and this is the result!
Niccy and I just got back from a 2 week cruise down in the Caribbean, a trip that was supposed to be in the UK but thanks to the whole covid fiasco that was not meant to be. We were on the P&O Britannia and as we quickly found out we were the only Americans aboard! We had a good time, got to see some new ports and enjoyed the weather.

referring to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species.

An inside joke that I'll make you privvy to!
It was probably our second or third cruise that this started. We were in Curacao doing the tourist thing which is walking around the port. We came up on a shop that had a sign that said "Big Mama Sizes Available". Niccy laughed and said "That fits me"! and ever since then we've always laughed when we saw a sign that referenced plus size women.
Niccy isn't a what you'd call model on the runway and she knows she'll never be. She accepts that and I certainly do since she's beautiful to me and I don't want her to change. I like my girls with a little fat on the end just like Rodney Carrington:

A comedian that I truly find funny!
We saw this sign in Curacao and she insisted on me taking the shot so I obliged.
Like I said she's beautiful to me and that's all that matter.
yes i come, later!

So it's taken two days to totally gut my room (that's how much stuff I have LOL) and now finally its down to a bare minimum. With the emptying complete the ceiling can be painted tomorrow :D. Thought I'd do a quick self portrait of myself in my very empty room.
The marks on the walls are sandpaper marks from where I've had to remove them annoying double sided sticky pads LOL.
Will post shots when done

Today I posted my 503rd video to Youtube. This journey for me started in 1982 when JVC brought out the world's first portable video camera. The world's first camcorder was not invented for another two years, the — JVC GR-C1 VHS-C camcorder. The word 'camcorder' comes from combining the two words: camera and recorder. My 1982 video recorder was not a camcorder but a video camera connected by cable to a portable VCR tapedeck. The former was held in one's hand while the latter hung over one's shoulder.
I bought another (I can't find my Dazzle) VHS-to-digital converter that arrived this morning. By noon I had the transfer completed.
See what you think from this 1982 technology converted to digital:
Niccy and I just got back from a transatlantic cruise so I've finally got some shots to post!
One thing you don't have to ever worry about on a cruise is starving. There are always plenty of dining venues included in the price as well as several pay extra places such as Rudi's Sel De Mer:
Rudi’s Sel de Mer is an intimate brasserie featuring classic French dishes reimagined with contemporary flair. Menu selections include whole Dover sole meunière with shaved pink Himalayan sea salt, oysters on the half shell, fruits de mer, and salt-crust baked branzino, as well as favorites such as steak frites, duck cassoulet and coq au vin.

They DO NOT serve breakfast at Rudi's Sel De Mer but we were able to wrangle it!
Because of Niccy's ever watchful eye we were able to get into Club Orange on this cruise. Club Orange is a way to experience a new level of luxury, from priority check-in and disembarkation to premium dining amenities. Club Orange benefits include a complimentary stateroom upgrade, a special event chosen by the captain and priority check-in and disembarkation. I don't ask her how she got us in but it was definitely nice.
Anyhow, we went down the the Club Orange Dining Room for breakfast one morning to find it was chock a block full. The hostess (Ross) asked if we would like to have a table down at Rudi's since it was an overflow for Club Orange. We said sure and that's how we had breakfast at Rudi's!
Funny part was seeing people walking by and staring, probably wondering how we got in there for breakfast.
Just a note, we definitely didn't eat Dinner here, we're both too fiscally conservative!
