I apologize for the delay, but here are pictures of the ship's departure on Saturday.  Here we're starting the engines and getting ready to pick up the duce.

We've got the ship lined up within minutes of arriving near the boat ramp on a neighboring bank.

It took extra gas on the approach, but the duce made it up the ramp.

The creeks and thuds heard from the ramp closing make you think it's gonna fall off or get stuck, but this old girl sure proves you wrong.

Great view of the ship.

The LCVP is coming around to be loaded.  It looks like the current is a bit strong for that.

Here she pulls away and heads toward a new city.
