Yep, it’s that time again, cruise ship season.
If you’re not on one, or dreaming of taking one, you may be seeing the ships pass by headed to Alaska via the Strait of Juan De Fuca, just as I did here.
Last summer, this Holland America edition served as a nice background for an airborne kiteboarder at Cline Spit, and also as a spark to my imagination.
While photographing him, I envisioned him being carried by a strong wind to the deck of the ship where he would make a grand entrance on the dance floor, or splash down in the pool, to the dismay of the sunbathers, the crew, and himself.
But my vision was short-lived when the wind tipped him from side to side and quickly deposited him back in the water as it had done many times before.
And as the ship sailed away, I was a little saddened that it left without the boarder, but most importantly, without me!
