That is to say the Scenic Eclipse, a popular cruise ship, and its over 250 passengers pulled into Humboldt Bay at about noon. It is supposed to come to rest at Schneider Dock.
According to a press release from the Humboldt Bay Harbor District,
Ship guests will have the option to enjoy Old Town Eureka, the Redwood Skywalk, the Humboldt Botanical Garden, or a Pacific Coastline Hiking Tour provided by Pacific Outfitters between 2:00 to 6:00 PM. An excursion catalog is continuing to be developed to share what Humboldt County has to offer to incoming cruise ships

Awesome so more damage to our ocean creatures.
what
The Redwood curtain that keeps people in the area poorer than much of the state probably needs to be extended out to sea I guess. I read all the time “ I can’t afford to own a home”, well duh?
The Flower Moon.
“A penumbral lunar eclipse occured on Friday, May 5, 2023, the first of two lunar eclipses for 2023.
Kind of poor communication on someone’s part.
I read that it would be entering the Bay around 1 and docking around 2.
Went down to see it enter the Bay but it had already docked.
Maybe next time someone can communicate better with the local public.
Sometimes they make better time and are faster and other times they get delayed. So sorry they didn’t keep you updated on their location by text.
So, it was they who were selfish.
lol
People are ribbing you a bit which is what friends are for. 🙂 Good natured ribbing mostly and hopefully you chuckle too. And i get you sound like you were excited about seeing it come in and understandably so ..rare and all the publicity hoopla and the size of the thing. Due to the vagaries of weather and the ocean likely a good idea to grab something warm to drink and get there early next time. Even then who knows but maybe someone here can add what sort of variance these arrival times have if that is even somewhat consistent within a range.
So, which is it? The Scenic Eclipse or the SOLAR eclipse? Conflicting info as per the linked previous article.
My apologies. I fixed the error.
Hi- I know you read alot, as I do. Would you consider writing a book together? I have a brilliant idea. It includes humor. Please email me if you are interested. I think you can make this book rock. Me too. Not a fly by night in this. Thanks
Eclipsed the sky the whole sky in every photo I’ve seen. The sun and moon were not enough for the elite wealthy..they had to eclipse the sky. Those 250 gonna spend a lot of money in old town on this rainy day? In four hours? Interesting.
So cool!
OK–we’re going down. Everyone into the ONE lifeboat.
Thats a shore “taxi”.
Were any passengers on the boat?
Did any get off to “see the sights”?
This, is exciting…
Been watching the occasional big ships come in. One year I had the pleasure of doing tours with Ray Hillman. Lovely to show happy people the sights. Hope everyone has a wonderful time!
This is an ultra luxury ship. 250 passengers 175 crew. Ship carries 2 helicopters and its own submarine for viewing underwater ruins and colorful reefs. All passenger cabins have balconies. The penthouse is over 2000 square feet. State of the art stabilizing devices insure a smooth ride in any seas. Has no anchor ….uses a sophisticated gps link to hold its position and on and on. Some boat!
Cool!
Ah… luxury travel for the ultra rich. Gotta admire those who out smart the liberals to keep more of their income. (And I do… I emulate them every chance I get) But while they’re in Humboldt bay, according to the info that wasn’t exclusively provided to D’ Tuck, do they have 4 hours to see the sights, avoid stepping on a used needle, or accosted by one of our local “unhoused” denizens and safely re-board for a luxury meal? Then slip away under cover of the fog and night for a longer stop in a more sophisticated locale?
Question or statement?
Love the way you boot lick the excessively wealthy and then snivelishly take your frustrations out on liberals and people suffering from other less comfortable addictions than luxury lifestyles.
Envy, bitterness and hatred are palpable.
Some boat is right! It’s equipped and classed as an expedition ship She’s even been to Antarctica.

Wow. Appreciate the info. I’m of an age i envision the “Love Boat”. With such amazing advances our species is capable of one would think we could also house more people, care better for children and elderly and have healthy food for everyone. So no more castles with a moat the elite now retreat to a boat..LOL. Why did i want to write ark instead of boat?
We need an aircraft carrier to visit. Have the Apaches fly 300 feet right over the Plaza in Arcata to horrify the local progressives and Red List Threatened and Endangered old hippies. Power. Can you imagine how much gas those things are burning. Hee haw. Wahooo! Remind them of who is protecting them to espouse their many crazy wacko ideas. Anyone ever see the picture taken from Trinidad of our Warships heading off to the Pacific theatre and passing just offshore Humboldt during WWII. The ships are in a line from Trinidad head and on the horizon past Eureka as far as the eye can see. Tin Can Mailman had that old picture up decades ago. Hundreds of battleships and thousands of men. Amazing.
Arcata Plaza………with the earth flag “flying high” above “Red Square”
Wish there was a link…
Wtf are u talking about
Yeah, ok and you getting an adrenaline rush from romaticizing war from old photos from cozy comfort of your keyboard is almost entertaining to imagine. Got all your limbs? PTSD much? Poisoned while “Serving”? Got to love those old photos; black and white and no blood red. I’m not a hippy, never was and they sometimes get on my nerves and I’d take them over some yahoo who if had the power would provolk war just to mainline adrenaline ….you might want to try community service for all that excess energy you seem to have.
Couple of things:
I remember that picture and it took me less than five minutes to find it online.
Yay for war, death, and pending apocalypse.
I think they should be offered a tour of our awesome art galleries and murals!
You’re joking? Or you don’t get out much. Yes- our local art is nice. But these people come from real cities and out there in the world beyond Humboldt there are very fine art museums and major cultural things going on….well, if ya don’t know I cannot explain it to you. Travel. See stuff. Experience the world. New York, Barcelona, Paris, etc etc then come back here. We have nature better than all those places. But art?! Umm…no. It would be like going to a city to see trees…
California Crossings, the travel magazine disagrees with you. https://californiacrossings.com/california-street-art/
Thanks for the link.
Well done! We do have some nice murals. I submit on that point…
I agree with you no matter of course we have much local talent it just isn’t like a major city or even other places in article list that have more art than we do or where nature is astounding from a distance such as Antarctica viewing glaciers…mostly got to go on foot to experience what we have nature wise. I guess they get off the boat and see some Victorians a tad of street art and go back to the boat? The tree walk in the zoo might be something they could access in the little time they spend here..four hours is that right? They can find great local photographers on line. Anyway would be interesting to hear what the tourists actually do and think and the merchants experiences too but like we would get the PR version which isn’t bad its just spun.
I wish I could ride the scenic eclipse, but alas, I live paycheck to paycheck
The decadence, it burns….
Fucking disgusting…take up MOAR SPACE on the planet cuz you DESERVE IT
envious you are…
Yes like how the “Pilgrams” were envious of escaping religious persecution or the impoverished French class before the revolution. Top heavy leads to toppling. Nature abhors a vacuum. Its coming. Can’t just go “West young man” anymore nor take over a continent.
oh boy .
Don’t know anything about a cruise ship, never wanted to. From an environmental perspective I understand the U.S. allows cruise ships to dump treated waste into the ocean if they are within three and a half miles from shore. Beyond that point, there are no restrictions for dumping untreated, raw sewage in U.S. ocean waters
Don’t sell yourself short, that’s more than I knew about a cruise ship.
Americans don’t care too much for beauty
They’ll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
They’ll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
And complain if they can’t swim
Last Great American Whale – Lou Reed
IDK how real it is but the issue bothered me too. According to what I read, sewerage is treated by onship systems, organic waste by onship composting and solid waste off loaded on shore. Surely there are people who violate the rules same as anywhere but there are rules.
https://www.epa.gov/vessels-marinas-and-ports/cruise-ship-discharges-and-studies
At least it appears that the sewage is treated. Most cities have homeless people using a corner or a bush to do their business, then leave it, untreated or cleaned up for the next homeless person. Look at San Francisco…what a rat’s next mess!
What a terrible name for a cruise ship
