Great images Tim - you are a braver man than I am cruising at this time of year. Reckon its about 17 years since my last New Year cruise. I guess I am getting old. I especially like the shot of the boats leaving the lock with the STOL aircraft on the runway in the background - looks almost as if its 'walking' on water!
