CRUISING
Coming down
Atlantis touching down in `97 after mission STS-84. Not the most watched or spectacular part of space travel however as sadly shown by Columbia equally dangerous. Lets hope all missions from 2004 return safely like STS-84
S/S Oceanic also known as The Big Red Boat a ship getting on in years, now sadly no long sailing out of Canaveral , but a nice ship. As some people sunned I ran round with my camera
The two stopovers on the 4 day criuse were Nassau and Port Lucaya . One relatively poor , one fairly wealthy (Nassau on the left)
Port Lucaya with it,s boats, casino and duty-free shopping. (Oh dah - a thousand dollar watch for only six hundred dollars -sure!) Still a good bar was found
