18. Cruises provide so many opportunities for interesting 'travel' photos

Thu Jul 10, 2014, 05:22 AM

Jul 2014

I looked back through my cruise photos several times for this contest. On our Baltic cruise this last
May our cabin was on the starboard side of the ship and the pilot boat came right
up next to the ship after we were out of Tallinn harbor and I was shooting away hoping
to catch the pilot hop from our cruise ship back to the pilot boat, but alas, I looked away at
just the wrong second to catch him making the jump. I would have loved to get that shot!

Can't you just imagine it? Here's the pilot boat next to the cruise ship
