By The Sea, By The Sea, By The Beautiful Sea...

     I've never been on a cruise...not on a "small" cruise ship or a larger one.

     Still, I read an article about The Allure, one of the two largest cruise ships in the world, with interest this morning.

     This picture shows the ship passing under a bridge with less than a foot difference....possible only in calm seas and by lowering the telescoping funnels of the mammoth vessel.



   The story is in the Times today, written by a woman who goes on the cruise with her Aunt. Like the old tree in the forest question, if you go on a cruise and never feel the movement of the ocean, did you really go cruising?
