Carnival Magic was back in town, reloading at Pier 88 and then departing for another trip down to the Eastern Caribbean.

Magic was built as recently as 2011 but has fixed pitch propellers rather than pod propulsion and gets an assist when leaving the pier. John D. Moran did the honors again this week. The Rhea Bouchard and Barry Silverton remained anchored in the river for a third day.
