Thank you Rich, Sandi, Vanessa, Debbie, Ann, Dixie, and Graham/Father David. Bon Voyage Jacqui, Colin, and Emily and Happy Birthday Tony. Ann and Pat, enjoy your time in Rotterdam. Welcome home Lisa and Tom. Wow on 50 years Brenda. I’ll celebrate Hemp day and very thankful for Kindergarten. I think I was in the first group of kids to get Kindergarten in my school district many years ago. My brother was 2 years older than me but graduated 3 years earlier because he did not get Kindergarten. I prefer to keep my chocloate and cashews separate and have chocolate every day and will have cashews as part of a helping of mixed nuts. The Adams quote is interesting. I visited Scarbourgh in 2015 on the Maasdam. Elvis certainly revolutionized music. I’ll pass on the meal. My alternative is Lido Grilled cheese, green beans @ ice cream, and MDR lemon torte as served on Nieuw Statendam April 21, 2019: Chilly day but I had a morning walk and then A/V service at my church but now home for the day.

Bon Voyage. While a strike is understandable, it's hard to believe you couldn't have been warned so you could have gotten some snacks during your extended time in Pearson. Roy

Bon Voyage!!!! Roy

Thank you Rich, Sandi, Vanessa, Debbie, Ann, and Dixie. Happy that Jacqui is finally in Fort Lauderdale but what a lousy way to welcome visitors to the US. I would not dare to try to learn Chinese Language, and will pass on the cheddar on my fries, Not sure about Cli-Fi but if it helps us recognize Climate reality it’s a good thing. My most memorable of recognition of the reality were passing through the Northwest Passage on a cruise ship in 2016 and the frequent floods in downtown Annapolis. I have not been to today’s port. An interesting quote by Adams and a great day in racing history.. I’ll pass on the meal. My alternative is Papaya with a Rainbow of Fruit, Apple, Pear, and Cucumber Salad, Filet from Sirf amd Turf, and Tiramisu as served on MS Zaandam April 20, 2017. A chilly morning for my walk but it should be warmer about lunch time when I head out to the fire house. Roy

If they're near the phone and start to leave a message I can pick them up as they start. Roy

I'll bet the only chance she had to fill out the survey was the one where she started and it crashed on her. Roy

Here's our Destination of the day on Google Maps, showing the relationship to Westerdam's current destination Kanazawa. Next time a BHB will be there is Noordam on October 18. Roy

Today's maps: Roy

If you may have internet problems tomorrow should I start the Daily when the maps are done if you haven't posted? Roy

Some alternative maps. Since it is virtually impossible to get ports and ships on the same map I used Google Maps for Langkawi and zoomed out enough to get a rough idea of the Westerdam's location, the nearist BHB. Roy

Thank you Rich, Sandi, Vanessa, Debbie, Ann, and Dixie. Happy Friday. @richwmn, shouldn’t the Noordam now be in the Western Hemisphere? Great news Vanessa, as I expect the surgeon doesn’t have availability every day to do it so who knows how much longer than it could have been. Save travels to Kazu. Thank God the disease is rare, and like most of us I learned something new with John Parker. I like Garlic in moderation. A lot of truth in that King quote. I have not been to today’s port. An interesting day in history, although I suspect the first residents were not happy to be sent there. I’ll pass on the meal. My alternative is Marinated Pineapple Spears, Classic Caesar Salad and Parmesan Crusted Turkey Tenderloin as served on MS Amsterdam April 19, 2014. A chilly dry morning with rain expected later today so I’m glad to have my errands finished for the day. Two new My Chart messages today, first the results from the long term heart monitor I wore last weekend. I didn’t really understand it but was pleased that it said “No AFIB”, An hour later a message from my Cardiologist. She wants me to resume one of the medications that was stopped when I was in the Florida Hospital in November but now at half the dose. Roy

Just one map today: Roy

Probably not very likely as it would be a guess at best if I even know what the port of the day is when I prepare the maps. Roy

My last visit to Sydney was in 2020, arriving March 3 on Crystal Serenity and leaving March 6 on Queen Mary 2. The weather was miserable and not many photos but I did visit 2 of the smaller venues in the Opera House. The first was the Drama Theater where I watched a play "No Pay, No Way" The other was "The Studio: where I attended the musical "Six" Roy

Next time was 2018 on Crystal's 2-ship world cruise, sailing Fort Lauderdale to Sydney on Crystal Serenity and returning to Fort Lauderdale on Crystal Symphony, Serenity had a total of 3 days in Sydney and cannot get under the bridge. The day we arrived I took a walk across the bridge. Sandi posted a photo of the walk way, this is another one closing in on one of the towers: We had to leave at the crack of dawn the next morning to make way for another ship at the berth. Symphony was docked at White Bay and some of the ferries moved us over to her. Our final day in Sydney I had a tour of the Opera house visiting the big auditorium. The Concert Hall: The Opera Hall and Stage: That afternoon we left with the Symphony passing Serenity which fell into line behind us following behind until we turned towards our respective next ports.
