Update: It appears the Seven Seas Explorer cruise ship is now anchored off shore near Fernandina Beach. Word is the ship left Friday afternoon and on Sunday could be seen near a distant sea buoy. A websearch on the ship confirmed it was was off shore as well.
Editor’s Note: A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to watch Ed Boner navigate his drone from the Centre Street docks to the Port of Fernandina. His goal was to capture photos of the “Seven Seas Explorer” docked at the Port of Fernandina to hunker down during COVID-19. As a licensed drone operator, Ed knows his stuff and carefully adheres to drone rules and regulations. Thanks Ed for letting me to join you and for sharing your photos with the Fernandina Observer.
Very cool Ed, drones seem to be reliable when the eye cannot. Question…..where does the dockage fee of this massive boat go to & how does it get it’s fuel?
It looks like the cruise ship has departed.
Now about manning requirements and ship maintenance activity and oversight while the ship is at dockside. Just to be sure the bilge pumps work.
