Sunrise this morning. A surprise visitor.

The first photo is a sunrise image on a perfect day with Mount Diablo in the background. A flash of something white to my left distracted me and I discovered the Sea Princess had snuck in overnight. Perfect day for our visitors, who will be leaving on the evening tide. Last photograph shows the ship an hour or so later.

Waning Crescent Moon

To the left, lit, the tower for the eastern span of the SF-O Bay Bridge, scheduled to be fully open in 2013. Center with all the lights is Pier 17. Piers 17 and 15 are being restored and rebuilt to house the Exploratorium. Across the Bay, the blaze of light is the incredibly busy Port of Oakland.

Carnival Splendor now docked at P35

Filed under: news,photographs,ships — Tags: , , — Towse @ 4:11 pm

The Carnival Splendor, she of the ill-fated Mexican cruise last fall, has been in dry-dock at P70 since 31Jan for needed engine repairs.

Three weeks and $8-$9m later, the repairs appear to be complete as the ship moved from P70 to P35 today for final work before it heads off on its next cruise.

Congrats to the folks at BAE Systems for finishing the huge project.
