      Squeeeeeeze under! Quite a sight ...

      I notice you've sailed by the 60,000 milestone. Fun to share, truly a community here.

      A belated hello Stan, always great to hear from you, and you are always very perceptive.

      However there is an optical illusion at play in this photo.
      The ship reversed from the Overseas Passenger Terminal into mid-harbour and close to
      the Sydney Harbour Bridge (but some distance from the traffic deck of the Bridge) pointing
      down the Harbour & thence to the open sea. So quite controlled and no squeeze !

      Btw, 88,000 views now, which isn't the point, because as you said, Its the community !!
