Buckskin.....I feel like I'm playing one of those "Spot the Difference" games. It appears that the three middle pictures are the same and the two bottom pictures are the same.  |

The effect works better when they are all in a folder; you can see the waves move as you press the ">" (next) button; especially when there are a bejillion of them. |

Unfortunately that look gets lost when posting stills. If you are interested you could consider creating an animated gif. It seems there may be some free ones online. |

Some sort of support vessel runs alongside the Carnival Sunshine.
I am not sure whether it is pirates or just some sort of taxi, or maybe an ambulance boat.

Hasn't Mrs BuckSkin ever considered joining this forum?
By the way. Haven't seen your young friend recently. I hope she is well.

Cheer practice --- whatever that is, gymnastics, dance class, piano lessons, and the adults keep interfering with our plans.
I am getting pretty shaggy and due for another haircut; hopefully she can visit in a week or so. |

 Schools will be going back soon, then normality will return.

I'm interested to hear Mrs BuckSkin's opinions of cruising in this post Covid era, we are cruising to New Zealand in December and I'm a little bit anxious. We will be on the Golden Princess.

I'm interested to hear Mrs BuckSkin's opinions of cruising in this post Covid era, we are cruising to New Zealand in December and I'm a little bit anxious. We will be on the Golden Princess.
At least around here, I believe it is more aggressive now than back when they were wearing it out on the news.
People in the mid-30s bracket are dropping out like flies "died at their home" and I suspect most of those are Covid.
Several of my friends and relatives who have been vaccinated on top of vaccinated are right now down with it; bad diarrhea, throat raw, legs aching and throbbing, no smell or taste.
I reckon if you are vaccinated you are less likely to succumb, but no guarantee you won't come down with it.
Just last weekend, I talked myself out of going on an annual two-day mule wagon ride and probably good I did as there were over two hundred teams/wagons from all over several states.
There was one guy there who knew he had Covid and came anyway; whether he is to blame or not, at least a third of those present are now down with it.
Okay; I just now went and poked her with a pin on a stick and asked her her thoughts on the matter.
She said there are a gazillion FaceBook groups about cruises, many cruise-line specific, many vessel specific, and even several for specific cruises, that she follows.
She has read of several who have commented that a day or two after leaving their ship they came down with Covid; not a huge percentage of the passengers, but enough to be concerned.
Now I am going to have to look at the globe; I had always thought New Zealand was just a short canoe paddle away from Australia, like if the tide was down you could hop from rock to rock and be there in a few hops. |

It’s a 3 hour flight from Melbourne to Auckland, North Island. The ship takes 3 days to reach the Fiords at the bottom of the South Island. From Melbourne to Auckland it’s 2634 km.
I’ll search around for those FB sites to see what they’re saying, thank Mrs BuckSkin for me.

I'm going to have to sharpen up on my Down-Under geography; all these years, I have thought you could stand on one and see the other.
