container ship gets a sideways push at Port Napier

 
As seen from the Napier Bluff lookout.  As the Holland America Line's Oosterdam cruise ship departs, the NK Ng container ship (registered in Majuro) arrives - Napier tugs meet her and turn her around about 120 degrees before pushing her sideways to the number 2 dock.  On the adjacent dock are two French naval vessels from Noumea, in town for the Art Deco weekend.

    You had beautiful weather for the art deco weekend, I must remember to put the date down for next year.

    HB is known for great summer weather, apparently in all the 25 weekends they have had only 2 days of rain. Most special events sell out quickly but there are several free events to view.
