Subject: [Leica] IMG: Approach to Juneau - we have an escort

As we approached Juneau DIAMOND PRINCESS picked up a Coast Guard escort 
complete with machine gunner in the bow.

Here's a close up as the vessel passed close aboard:

This is with the Leica 100mm APO R lens.

A bit later they powered up and moved to intercept some fishermen in a Lund 
open fishing boat which was headed from Juneau to do a bit of fishing. They 
didn't seem phased by the CG boat but they were also very careful not to 
alter their coast toward us.

This was shot with the Sony 55-200mm E lens.

Comments, etc, welcome & invited.
