Princess TaiPing Departs








Yesterday, Monday 16 February, the Princess TaiPing was towed out of the Ali Wai Harbor at about 5 PM. The scene was fairly hectic for several hours with may best wishes and farewells being exchanged. Traditional Chinese prayers were said, a Christian minister intoned a prayer, the TV media did their thing, and soon the Princess TaiPing was towed out through the heads. I returned to my boat and took a photo of her with sails up headed west, for Saipan.
