Saw a big boat today · 12:30pm May 26th, 2023
Specifically the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest warship, which is currently parked in the Oslofjord.
Admittedly I saw it from some distance, up in the hills. I didn't want to go all the way down to the islands to get the closest possible view. That would have meant crossing over the busy highways and such, and honestly it was a long enough bike trip as it was. I had to go hunting around the hills for a bit to find anywhere it was visible at all, but now I'm satisfied that when the world's largest warship came to town to visit, I did indeed go take a look at it.

Issa very big boat.

Very true n_n The biggest I've seen (I think) is the HCMS Haida which is anchored near my hometown.
I've seen plenty of tallships too but I couldn't tell you how big they were.
Those giant sea eagles sitting on the deck must be huge.
It’s very hard to make out detail in that photo, but there are so many of them!

My phone camera, zoomed in quite a bit, doesn't give a terribly clear picture of the eagles, unfortunately.
Heck, when I stop and look at the structure in the foreground it doesn't even look real. It looks like a cartoon graphic badly photoshopped in

Kinda felt apropos
