for any of you who have gone on cruises, leaving a busy port often means seeing other cruise ships.
I lived aboard my boat in Aventura Florida for three years, and often went south on the intracoastal to Miami.
There you headed off to port to the inlet, aka Government Cut, or down a ways and right up the Miami River. It was a hopping area.
And right out in the channel there was a turnaround for the cruise ships next to the seaplane landing area.
You really had to be careful and pay attention
interesting in this video, which I muted, is that with one exception, every cruise ship spun around to starboard, not port.
I could not explain why. If a single prop, perhaps, but they have identical exterior conning stations up front, I wonder why starboard/going right
is a preferred option. I wonder if that is a big ship protocol of some sort. Anyone know?
sure looks pretty there
we had to go past this area to get to Biscayne Bay and the Keys.
some snow flurries out now, 75 in Miami
