More May 7, 2011 pictures of the cruise-ship Norwegian Pearl at Nanaimo.
-----------------

- when you only have 4 ships visit for the year, you want each day to be special weather.








Jack Point provides a nice foreground for these next 2 shots

Friday, May 20th, the cruise-ship Celebrity Century visits Nanaimo from 11:00am to 7:00pm.
- She spent today at Astoria Oregon, at the mouth of the Columbia River.

She's currently working her way up the coast to round Cape Flattery and then Juan de Fuca and then onward to Nanaimo.

Hopefully she doesn't miss the course-change at Cape Flattery, otherwise she'll end up on the rocks by Pachena Bay, similar to the steamer Valencia over 100 years ago. But perhaps navigation equipment has improved since then....haha
