Interesting to me is that there's a distinct lack of firepower visible. How are they supposed to keep the pirates at bay?

Although they're not a huge fleet they do serve an important purpose in keeping the people of Barbados free from the baddies that wander the 7 Seas.

BCG is responsible for the enforcement of provisions of every law relating to the regulation of any harbour or port of Barbados, quarantine, immigration, fisheries, territorial waters and economic zones, safety at sea, the detection and prevention of the contravention of laws relating to revenue and customs; the prevention or persons from boarding, holding or clinging on to any vessel without the permission of the master of the vessel, and, if necessary, the removal of any such person from the vessel. For the purposes of carrying out their duties, the members of the BCG have the same powers, authorities and privileges as are conferred by law on members of the Police Force. In accordance with the Defence Act, BCG has particular powers of arrest under 16 enactments of Law.

The motto of the Barbados Coast Guard is ‘Per Deo Per Mare’, which translates to “By God, By SEA”.

BTW, most of the people we talked to on the island refer to themselves not as Barbadians but as Bajans (pronounced /ˈbeɪdʒən(z)/ BAY-jənz)

Makes Jack (or in this case Niccy) a real dullard!

When it comes to being a Nurse Niccy is one of the best. She's the kind that you would want to be taking care of you and/or your loved ones. Good for you but not so good for her. Every now and then she needs to get away. Niccy was finished with her work and now was ready to play.

One of her pastimes away from work is dropping some coins in at the local casino. Now we're not gamblers by any means, more of a pleasant distraction.

We go to the casino about once a month since they give out a free lunch for veterans (me) along with some free play on the slot machines. Having worked in the gaming industry I know that we'll never get rich, the business is built on losers. I don't mind going however since it gives her a chance at that dollar and a dream that everyone has inside of them.

Niccy and I just got back from a transatlantic cruise so I've finally got some shots to post!

I've learned a lot from the folks here on Flickr, along with a lot of trial and error. One of the things I've learned is to not bother to take a moon shot without the right equipment which I definitely don't have.

The moon came up nice and big while we were in Civitavecchia and people were crowding the railing with their phones held high, trying to get that perfect shot that they'll show their friends once and never look at again. Me, with my keen sense of silliness decided that these folks needed to become Flickr Famous so I present the following for your enjoyment!

Please note that I'm not disparaging those folks who shoot primarily with their phone, I believe in use what you brought. These folks did however bring another shot of mine:

to mind that was the inspiration for this masterpiece!

The Scandinavian Star caught fire in 1990, killing 158 passengers. This is a detail of a monument to them. The monument is in Oslo, Norway near Akershus Fortress.

Kind of a by-product from the fake "underwater" photo where i used these shells, too.

This was definitely the wettest and rain filled Caribbean cruise we've ever had!

This was our view as we pulled into St. Vincent, not the tropical Caribbean paradise that most the folks were looking forward to. Thanks to Niccy's fantastic planning skills we didn't stick around in St. Vincent, instead we caught a ferry over to the island of Bequia, a nearby neighbor. We did get a little rain over there but nothing like the folks who stayed in St. Vincent got. Somewhere down the road I've got a shot or two of Bequia and our ferry ride that I'll post, let me tell you it was definitely an adventure!

This is a combination of 5 handheld shots that I stitched together with Hugin Panorama Stitcher:

It's a cross platform stitcher that's been around since 2009 and does a really nice job.
