A Trip To the Port

I had the opportunity of a lifetime to visit the Port of Charleston and have a tour on a cargo ship.  I found it incredibly fascinating to understand how so many products end up in our stores!

A view of the OOCL Vessel we got to board

The BIG OOCL

Welcome Aboard the "OOCL Norfolk!"

A Better View

Beautiful Low Country View

On the ship, the First Mate showed us how the vessel balance controls work

He swore that it was easy to keep it balanced!

The Engine Room (check out the spare piston in the back!)

How's the weather Captain Yang?

Bon Voyage! Happy sailing to Rotterdam!

Ralph put wolves howling on the computer one night. He started howling along with the wolves to see what Bella would do.

Note: Not all that howling is Bella... or Ralph! :)
