Kate, that boost to the economy was the only thing in the local media, sadly. The boat was here for only 3 days.

Yes, those cruise ships have an element of fascination to them, and for some cities and countries they are a tremendous economic boon; however, I am opposed to them because of the environmental damage the cause.

Hi, Kris. Ship-board virus - now I didn't think of THAT. I know cruise ships come with choppers in case someone has to be ferried to hospitals and such, but yikes, I hope the residents washed their hands before going to the loo and other public places!

We have cruise ships of this size come into Seattle quite often on their way to and from Alaska (I have a photo of one just like this one in my archives. They are enormous!). But a private, live aboard situation that is not part of an NGO or charity, this I have never heard of. Probably good for Nelson that the townspeople weren't allowed too close (you've heard of those nasty ship-board viruses, right?). Great shot, and will love to see what roll your friend Warwick will play in your November 1st post.

Nathalie, touche! (or how ever that's spelled - I don't remember any more.) If I heard right, I understand that the residents on that boat decide where they want to go next, and just... ummm... drive away! Can you imagine???

Thien, yes, definitely. Talk about a different kind of drifter experience!

You are welcome, Ryan, and yup, keep us posted. (Any any recipes by any chance?)

Thanks for stopping by our site. We will add Nelson to our links.
I also enjoyed the recipies around the world. My wife and I love traveling and we love the food. I am working on putting together a travel web-site network and think that site would fit. As I get it together I will let you know.

Interesting. I wonder how it is to live year round on the cruiser. I will have to send this to my fellow SA DPer. She loves cruising.

Bend the rules Meg, bend the rules! That's what they're there for!
Apart from that, yes, The World is an amazing concept. As for security, what do you mean "the other half'? The other 0.000001% rather ???

You know, I didn't think of why we couldn't get nearer - I thought security, but how dangerous can curious Nelsonians get? (OK, but if we WERE allowed closer or on board in certain areas, we WOULD be very definitely noisy to see how the other half lives.)

They live on the cruise boat for always? Wow!

I wonder why they didn't want locals too near their boat...too many previous stowaways perhaps...

A ship of fools? Can you imagine if you did not like your neighbors? Well, I guess that there's always the next port.
