Back on the Ocean Princess

We were back on board the ship and I prepared for the later sail away by charging my camcorder batteries as I was going to place it on the tripod and let it run as we left the harbor-this would free my hands up to take photos.

Directly behind us was a former Celebrity Cruise Lines ship- the Zenith. There is always a market for used ships. Some are in service for as long as 40 years.

At 4 p.m, right on schedule, we pushed away from the dock, using the bow and stern thrusters

Once clear of the pier we could use our main engines to move forward

We pass by Upper Barakka Gardens

We've left the mouth of the harbor which we last saw (in the dark) at 6 a.m.

To be continued....
