Thanks Peter. The regular voyage "saving 35,000 truck movements" will take about 30 weeks, according to a press release. So we will be seeing a lot of her.

Great shot Clyde! She was rough that day. The cliffs of North Head adds drama to this photo as well. She was off Barangaroo to pick up fill for PK Harbour. arrived here yesterday.

Regards

Peter

Thank you Cody. I'm glad it is one of your favourite ships. She sure is an old lady with character.
Cody Williams on Aug 11, 2012 03:25 (9 months ago)
Wow, awesome shot of one of my favorite ships, Clyde! Congratulations for having one of your photos make it onto the top photos. It looks like they're having a bit of fun out there!
Clyde Dickens on Aug 11, 2012 02:45 (9 months ago)
The wind is still strong 24 hours after I took the pic, and scheduled arrivals and departures have not taken place. The Manly ferries which were cancelled have resumed service. Thank you very much for the comments
Robert Tremblay on Aug 11, 2012 00:27 (9 months ago)
Wow Tremendous action shot Clyde from the point of view of a landlubber! Not a very good day at work for the crew of the CSL Pacific that seems to work still pretty good even if started to get older...
Great job Clyde, very best regards, Robert08

Well caught Clyde. Looks rather hairy! Thanks too for the specs, "35,000 truck moves saved" .....Keep up the good work you guys.
Oldkayaker on Aug 10, 2012 20:31 (9 months ago)
nice catch, looks a lot more foreboding than it apparently was out there.
Barry Graham on Aug 10, 2012 19:21 (9 months ago)
Wow - great day for a ride on the Manly ferry!
roar jensen on Aug 10, 2012 19:10 (9 months ago)
Nice storm pic.
Clyde Dickens on Aug 10, 2012 18:39 (9 months ago)
Thanks all. Sydney's CBD and Port Kembla will be spared 35,000 truck movements. CSL Pacific will transport excavated material from the old Darling Harbour wharf site (Barangaroo) to Port Kembla for use in land reclamation there for harbour development.

Nice shot

Hiya Clyde, I Bunkered her many times mate. I thought she had gone to the scrappers years ago but she is still around, amazing.

Keep yr fingers still crossed, David. You never know!?
David Meare on Aug 10, 2012 15:55 (9 months ago)
Looks like one of those occasions when based on previous experience, I kept my fingers crossed that all continued to be okay in the engine room. Great photo!
