Musings on life and times
Not the year in review, but
images that etched lasting memories on
this septuagenarian evolving scientist’s active brain.
Here’s to a safe and happy 2020!
Keeping pace with Six Word Saturday
Needed more than six this week!
Queen Elizabeth, like most cruise ships, cannot always berth in the centre of cities. This is overcome by transferring, by tender, those wishing to go ashore. On this ship a rule, strictly enforced, is that passengers must be able to clear a gap of 18 inches unaided. This is not about boarding the tender alongside ship, where a gangway is provided. Rather it is to cater for the shore end, where there may be a gap, not to mention movement, at the landing place. Every passenger wishing to go ashore must therefore pass the step test under close scrutiny!
