Two days ago I had a sunrise from the Westbound Canadian near Saskatoon. Today's is from the Eastern Canadian at Saskatoon. Not exactly the sunrise itself but the sun reflecting off the side of the train as it emerges July 17, 2005. Roy

@Crazy For Cats wishing you a great 2 years leading up to that BIG anniversary. Roy

Thank you for the Sunday Report Rich, and Graham for the message of the week. Love the Keller quote. I'm not into Emoji's and amused by stories of Wrong Way Corrigan, but will definitely celebrate Ice Cream Day. Been to Shimizu twice, 2004 on Crystal Harmony and 2017 on MS Amsterdam. Crispy Chicken is delicious but oh the fat. My alternative is Beef and Vegetable Soup, Braised Lamb Shank, and Cherries Jubilee as served on MS Rotterdam VI July 17, 2011. Today’s care list: RIP Buddy 7/13/22 RIP Nora Brown of Howick QC, 7/11/22 Camila and mom with covid Mamaofami son with covid Heartgrove brother discharged but rapidly declining Marshhawk DH awaiting biopsy From the rotation: Status of St. Louis Sal (7/1), msmayor (5/20) and JAM37 (6/24) Bennybear DH with melanoma Strength and healing for Kazu Tana with persistant cough Celebrations and Shoutouts: Seasick Sailer in Hawaii Great bitthday celebration for Cunnorl DS Cruisin Single with sister to 7/28 National (US) 988 crisis hotline Volendam caring for refugees 0106 covering menu suggestions until 8/1 Welcome home dobiemom, RWSBADGER, and luvteaching lindaler getting settled in and new home in shape Bon Voyage dfish (Rotterdam 7/17 to 7/31) and Gail&Marty (10/15) Vict0riann (Nieuw Statendam (7/16 to 8/9) and Cat in My Lap (Zaandam to 8/13) at sea Vacationing Staff Captain Sabine - Our first female Staff Captain and HAL’s likely first female Captain(I know this is a repeat but she’s worth it) Roy

Actually, not the OP but the complainer in chief. Roy

I just can't like this. That is WAY too hot for the frozen tundra. Roy

That was 2018. I fortunately boarded in Fort Lauderdale. Roy

One thing that concerns me about the Zaandam is that balconies are at a premium, all either Vista or Neptune suites. I wonder what happens to people who catch Covid. Roy

I'm not sure what the exact situation but Westerdam is now off Vancouver Island at 17 knots. I think at that speed she could (if repairs could not be made this weekend). I suspect (but do not know) that Westie's missed and shortened port stays were made to facilitate a diagnosis and marshall what is needed to create a fix on Sunday. The shortened call in Victoria could even be done to get the ship to Seattle extra early so divers can be in the water at the crack of dawn. Do not know this but just a guess based on what I see. Roy

Today's sunrise is a screen grab I took one year ago today but didn't use then. It's from the Crystal Serenity Panoflex camera somewhere in the Bahamas. Roy

Thank you for the Saturday report Rich. Not a fan of any of today's day but that's just me. I love the Azimov quote. Been to Whittier just once, on the Alaska ferry Kennicott. Not sure about the meal. My alternative is Classic Caesar Salad, and Ziti with Prosicutto and Lemon Olive Oil as served on MS Rotterdam VI July 16, 2011.

And now on the juneau cam. Roy

I saw QE and almost thought Zuiderdam was already there. Roy

I believe the Vista/Signature ships have aft ballards on the promenade deck and signs that they are used in the Panama Canal. Are they actually used and is the aft promenade deck closed in the locks? Roy

For today I have another sunrise taken on my 2018 crossing of Canada on ViaRail's Canadian. On July 15 the sun came up about 2 hours before arriving in Saskatoon: Roy

Thank you Rich for the TGIF Fleet Report and Daily. Love all 3 of today's days but not sure what to make of the quote. I have not been to Kangaroo Island. I have no idea what the meal is. My alternative is Fruit Ceviche, Garden Bounty, and Whole Wheat Pasta Primavera as served on MS Rotterdam VI July 15, 2011. I'm glad @Vict0riann was a day early and hope Pat's bag catches up quickly.

I admire your handiwork. My county has outlined plastic bags. Fortunately I have an ample supply of HAL tote bags. Roy

I got word from Nora's sister that she did not want any funeral or memorial service. It will be a small family burial. Roy

Happy Birthday Alan. Roy

I won't be and so far I haven't heard when they might be. Roy

@kazu any estimates about when Shadow may arrive? Roy
