[Cruise Series]
Jan. 23, 2012 - On the Mississippi River with the same barge from yesterday and our ship's lifeboats in the foreground. These lifeboats were billed as unsinkable . . . hmmm . . . fortunately, we didn't have to find out.
Interested in purchasing prints of my photographs?
My wife Karen also has a photoblog at Open Door.

@Marie LC: Thank you, Marie.
@Nicou: Merci beaucoup, Nicou!
@Rick: Thank you, Rick . . . yes, brave claims indeed. They do look like they would hold up to a lot of punishment though.
@Phil David Morris, 2012: Ha - let's hope not. Thank you very much, Phil. Yes, some of the architecture around New Orleans is astounding.
@Stephen: Thank you, Stephen.
@Doug: Indeed they did, Doug. I guess with modern technology and rigorous testing, these claims can be vetted a bit better these days, but still . . . Thank you very much.
@Ainsley: Yes indeed, Ainsley. Thank you very much.
@CElliottUK: Ha ha - thanks much, Chris.
@Mhelene: Thank you very much.
@Hiro: Yes, we were. Although, I tend to think a good majority of the captains of these ships are very capable. I believe Schettino was the exception to the rule.
@Laurette: Thank you very much, Laurette.
@grouser: Oh yes, very alive and well on the Mississippi River. Thanks Grouser.

@Steven: Thank you very much, Steven.
