After that, we made it back to the ocean liner. I went exploring, and found the place where they handle the giant ropes that are used to tie the ship to the dock while we are in port. They have these giant winches that wind up and let loose the ropes.

The ropes thread between heavy-duty posts to help direct the tension and hold the ship in place.

Finally, near sunset, we leave Barbados.

That's all for today - this was an awesome day, that's for sure.
The next day, we have a L O N G distance to travel, so we cruise all day.
