It's not a balcony...it's her boarding platform. The other boat , I thought I saw a Viking badge on her through my binoculars. Glad you liked the pictures though!
Glad you enjoyed SeaEric...although the photos of "La Masquerade" departing last evening from the Port. St. Charles webcam...not my photos. I just grabbed them when I saw her leaving. My photos are before that
Lately quite a few of these advanced row boats and their teams have been arriving at the Port St. Charles marina which is the 'finishing line' so to speak of these trans-Atlantic races. Below you get a look at the latest one that arrived a few days ago.
45-meter "Cracker Bay" came this morning and I went to see her arrival. Here are some of my photos. * Causeway to the 'megayacht' berths * "Cracker Bay" backing in to the slip * Ready to throw the small line to pull the bigger mooring line to "DFHT" * Mooring line passed * Swimmer to recieve another mooring line
* Swimmer gets the mooring line * "Cracker Bay" bow * "DFHT" bow * Both yachts port * Both yachts semi-starboard
Few new arrivals for today. Two Feadships, "GO" has been here since very early this morning, and "Callisto" is on her way down. I'm leaving shortly to go take pictures.
Here are some of the pics I took this morning... * "GO" at distance * "GO" a little closer * "GO" preparing to lift anchor * "GO" leaving anchorage * "GO" coming through the channel
* "GO" forward starboard side * "GO" Mast detail * "GO" forward port side * "GO", "DFHT", "Cracker Bay" HDR * "Talisker/Spirit of Aurora" Atlantic Challenge sloop
* "Callisto" coming in the distance * "Callisto" preparing to put her crew tender down so they could tether up * "Callisto" opened the starboard garage door * "Callisto" trolleying out one of the Hinckleys * Lowering the Hinckley
* "Callisto" being tethered to an offshore buoy * Arriving docs needed to be processed by the requisite officials for clearance of "Callisto" I imagine. * Drop off crew tender to "Callisto" heading back out * Port St. Charles Yacht Club * One of the many Condo/villa-type properties at the marina
