Carnival Splendor now docked at P35
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.

Embarcadero Center
Remember, folks. These are only those we can see from our aerie.
His nibs tells me that while driving back into our bucolic ville (from work) today, he could see a fine collection of other buildings (not visible from our aerie) that are turning orange.

Busy day on the Bay
Busy day in front of our perch. Traffic jam on the Bay: the usual ferries and sailboats plus the Rocket Boat and container ships AND the ISLAND PRINCESS docked this morning at P27. The USS MAKIN ISLAND (LHD8) came in to P30/32 with a fireboat splashing a welcoming spray. The ISLAND PRINCESS and the NORWEGIAN STAR (P35) have now gone with the tides. More US Navy and Canadian Navy ships expected in port soon for Fleet Week.
