Charleston - an Active Port!

Hello everyone!  Another great day in Charleston - as I type this, the full moon is rising across the river - beautiful.  Paul just took this photo:

Charleston is such a cool place - we are continually amazed at how active the port is - today there was a lot of activity with very large ships - see photos below:

Can you hear Kathy Lee singing?  This cruise ship arrived early this morning - you can see sweet Paul on the dock watching it all happen.

Right after the cruise ship arrived, this enormous container ship came out of the dock to our left - he was backing out and then was turned around by tugs . . .  so incredible to watch up close.

Starting the turn . . .  amazing how that "tiny" tug boat can move it - you can also see a second tugboat on the left pushing on the bow.

Gives you an idea of how HUGE this ship is - on this end alone - 76 containers - what you see a truck driving down the highway.

Almost completing the turn . . .

Turn completed - now heading South out of the Harbor and to wherever it's going . . .  we think it's heading to China to pick up more crap to bring to the Christmas Tree Shops!  :-)

Another huge ship came in this evening - two tugs turned it around and backed it in to the same pier that the other one backed out of this morning!

Cruise ship LEAVING this evening - just here for the day . . .  Toodle Loo!

Anyway - that's all the news we have for today - just watching all this cool stuff happening around us!  I am keeping busy with work and Paul has been getting a lot of maintenance stuff done on the boat.  All good.

Thanks for following along, as always - Love, Jen & Paul
