Don't stop believing turned up to 11 on a cruise ship motoring down the Hudson River by NYC - NaBloPoMo Day 10

Cruise ships are huge!!! 

A cruise ship on the Hudson River
heading out to sea past the 
island of Manhattan in New York City

The ships dock in midtown and the only reason I know this is because tourists get off in packs of a thousand and no one tells anybody to look both ways when they cross the bike path alongside the dock where eBikes go 90 miles an hour. Someone occasionally misses their matinee due to an unfortunate ER visit. You'd think there'd be lawsuits and traffic cops at this point but no. It's not the finest welcome in the world, I think we all can admit.

So Tom and I are minding our own business doing a thing we call Hiking to Dinner along the Hudson River. As we do now and then. Some may not consider it much of a hike considering total elevation gain is 0.00 and the path is paved and there is an outdoor bar you can stop at if you're really parched, but yeah. We go down to TriBeCa to this Indian place we discovered during the pandemic. 

Suddenly we hear this far off music that gets louder and louder.

"Just a small town boy...."

 sound on!

It was kind of funny to think about all the folks who had just I guess gotten themselves back on the ship after spending the day in the city... and snapped into immediate action. I mean, literally this boat had gone a total of ... twenty (?) city blocks from where it set sail to where it went by us.

Like, there must have been a solid plan for a beeline to the lido deck, and a tab already set up so no delay to smash three shots in prep for the sing along.

Good bye boat, it's out there somewhere in the niii-eee-ight. 

Good bye!
