[Judy Patsch]

In case you missed it tucked into another thread, Carmen has posted a couple of shots from the port cam today of the NATCHEZ passing the DQ at Erato Street Wharf. Its in the We're Off to the Boat thread by David Dewey. If you look closely you'll see something dark astern of the DQ. That is the piping and silt coming from the dredge directly below her. If that weren't there, I'm sure the NATCHEZ would have made a closer pass to the DQ. If you go to the River Cam, which is over Canal St., if you look at the top right corner of the pix you'll see a large gray ship. This is a Ready Reserve supply ro-ro, either the CAPE KENNEDY or the CAPE KNOX. Just above it,(to the left) is the Poland Street Wharf which is the newest cruise ship terminal area. It looks as if the new terminal building isn't up yet. So 2 ships/boats can dock at Erato/Julia(by the bridges) and another one downriver at Poland St.
