Rendezvous in the river…..

Again, while transiting the river to Saigon (Ho Ci Minh City), there are always lots of interesting things to watch.
And the boats are always so colorful. Here we have a a couple of boats tided up to each other. This is often done while they are tide up for the night, and the boats swing upstream or downstream, depending of the tide.

A first time see…

This picture was taken while we transited up the Saigon river towards Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh City as it is the official name. While looking at the riverbanks, I notice this church. I knew from before there are a lot of Christians in Vietnam, due to their history of being a French colony. Suddenly became aware of the church spires, and the symbol on top of it.

Up Saigon river....
Remember when we sailed up this river, using 3-4 hours.
Starting around 5 AM.
All the twist and turns as the river snakes and bends?
Then we see the city appearing, and many think, yes...almost there.
Then it turns out it is still another hour before we are there.
Again, because of the river is not straight up and down.
😁

Sailing up the Saigon river is always very interesting.
Dredging operation in the river.
Note how many of the vessels are both the workplace and the home.

Sailing up the Saigon river is always very interesting.
Look how the "home made" tugboat operates, and how the lady dealing with the manual rudder.

One of the first times sailing up Saigon river towards Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).
Suddenly I see this church appearing on the port side river bank. And I notice the top of the church.
Back in those days I had no internet to help me, so I had to ask around to learn what those symbols really were.

Your workplace is your home.
At least for these families working up and down the Saigon river.
There is a never ending photo opportunity in this river.
