Farewell!

This is some misc pictures as we depart
Saipan.

I caught this one day as I was leaving the
ship. If you notice near the front of the ship,
but behind it, is a rainbow. (Click on the picture
to enlarge it.)















This is the guy who rented the scooters. And his little
friend is Tony. He has pictures of the parakeet from
birth on up. I must say these little guys are pretty
as adults, but they sure are ugly as babies...Think
the Flintstones...A doodoo bird...lol


















Me at Memorial Park.
















Flowers in a pot.
















This is one of our sister ships, the Wheeler. She is
a refueler. The reels on her are used to hook one end
to a tanker off shore and the other end onshore.
There is about 4 miles of hose attached to these
reels. She has a number of "chase boats" onboard
as well as the orange boat beside her that assist
with the work. (Click on the picture to enlarge.)
