Remember this boat from the previous post? We took this boat on a tour up and down the Savannah River!
When we were boarding the boat, the captain was greeting all of the passengers; when it was our turn, he told Madelynn she was such a cutie, she could come up and visit the bridge of the boat anytime she wanted...here she is getting ready to climb the first set (out of 4) to get all the way to the top of the boat, to the bridge!
Here is the captain showing Madelynn the control's on the boat, and what each one does... he said he USED to let kids *steer* the boat but now there are too many legal liabilities involved so he isn't allowed to even let the pretend to :( so sad.
In order to dock the boat, there is a special steering 'stick' that is used, and he stands out over the edge of the boat on this platform...
He was showing Madelynn the different markers he looked for to be sure he docked properly...
Madelynn said that this experience was one of the best of the whole trip! It was so neat, even I was grinning ear to ear from how exciting it was!
