I didn't remember I could do this but have muted the live sound while turning on the VHF traffic and am currently getting the latest gangway positioning numbers. Sounds like she's in just the right spot. Roy

Yup! Roy

Looks like no noisemakers today. Roy

Well into the basin. Roy

Eurodam really early today. Roy

Today's sunrise is from 2 years ago. It's from the Port of Nassau Webcam as Crystal Serenity waits for new passengers there on July 10, 2021. Roy

Thank you Rich, Vanessa, Debbie, Dixie, and Ann. I'll pass on the days today. While kittens are really cute I'm not up to the responsibility. I love the Eadie quote. Been to Edinburgh 3 times. First was a 2003 land trip when I spent a couple days there and visited the Britannia. Next was 2006 on Crystal Symphony and I think did a forest hike. Final time there was Prinsendam in 2011 when I disembarked pre-maturely. Not that I wanted to but did not want to fly home so I had to leave a little early to connect with Queen Mary 2 home. Koningsdam will miss Tracy Arm today and be late arriving in Juneau due to her late departure from Vancouver. The Episcopal Church was well ahead of it's times. I'll pass on the meal. My alternative is Tim Hortons Chicken Noodle Soup (lunch) and Panera Macarona and Cheese (dinner) as enjoyed in New York July 10, 2018 prior to a July 11 train journey to Vancouver to meet the Volendam for my Grand Alaska tour. At the time Tim Hortons had a booth in the old Penn Station and there was a Panera a couple blocks awayl Roy

I expect to miss this one as I will have meetings at the fire house. Koningsdam will skip the Tracy Arm Call and be late in Juneau as she was delayed leaving Vancouver due to the workers action. Roy

Finally on the move. Roy

There's only one day in July that I don't have a sunrise or sunset and it's July 9. This is from July 8, 2008 on a trip featuring Rovos Rail from Dar es Salaam to Cape Town. On July 8 my brother and I were on a pre-boarding safari in Tanzania. Roy

Thank you Rich, Vanessa, Debbie, Dixie, Ann, and Graham. I'll enjoy a sugar cookie but not really a favorite. I'm not big on fashion but I think most dailyites will celebrate the call of the horizon. The Klein quote is all too often true. I don't really pay a lot of attention to tennis. I've been to San Antonio just once (Prinsendam, 2019) but Valparaiso several times including Zaandam's 2017 visit which I think was HAL's final call there. When San Antonio I took a tour to Santiago so I never saw anything of the town. I'll pass on the meal and really have no alternative today. I hope no news is good news on the Baby Murphy front, Heavy thunderstorms are forecast for today but the latest forecast is that it should be easy to get home before they start. Roy

Today's sunrise is from my final morning on Queen Mary 2 last year, taken on the approach to New York. Roy

Thank you Rich, Vanessa, Debbie, Dixie, and Ann. Welcome home @Oceansaway17. I'll pass on the body painting and motorcycle. I love the quote but have not been to Omaezaki. Vasco da Gamma really opened up the world and it is fitting for former Statendam to be named in his honor. I'll pass on the meal. I don't have an alternative from a BHB but a blueberry pie sure sounds nice. I think it will be quite a busy day. We have an afternoon event at church and while not needed for it, I would like to support it. Roy

Wonder if Serenity is doing a quick sea trial. She appears to be a few miles out headed away from Trieste. Roy

I guess that's it. Thanks Leanne, Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts. Roy

Soon will be hidden. I wonder if she'll leave on time or extend her stay. Roy

Finally. Roy

Volendam is back on the move, but I may not be able to stick around as dinner is coming up. Roy

Delayed by the port action in Vancouver, perhaps? Roy
