Sincere Apology From the Sunshine State

[RMM34667]

I am so sorry for all the cruisers who have traveled to our normally sunny state this weekend. Hopefully as you sail away the sun with breakthrough you are graced with a beautiful rainbow. Wishing all smooth seas ahead.

 

Yours truly,

I can empathize with you. I was local chair for a national conference in Myrtle Beach in March, normally very nice weather and we really promoted that for everyone coming from non-beachy/colder areas. Of course, it turned cold and rained most of that week and then once conference was over, got warm and sunny again! I felt so bad for those coming expecting good weather and time on the beach! At least those coming to Florida got to get away from the nasty weather! Nothing we can do about Mother Nature!

They are saying Dallas will never get another superbowl when it was so awfully cold that week, colder than South Dakota (of course followed this summer by record heat)

That was very kind of you, however, having family all over FL I know how much you need the rain! A rainy sail away will give way to a weeks worth of glorious weather...no worries!

It's been raining non stop since 7 am.

We took your sun this week!!!! :D

It was 85º here today...I was on THE BEACH...IN THE OCEAN :eek:

Oct 9th in Maine :eek:

Man, what a great weekend this was!!!! :)

Yes it looks like your rain has prevented the Disney Dream and Carnival Sensation from leaving on time. The Freedom of the Seas got out on time it looks like. That is at Port Canavaral.

[Shipbound]

I will clear up but it was probably rough sailing for the folks leaving port today, guess that system is going west across Florida according to the weather channel.

Rain won't stop a ship. There must be more going on. My ship sailed into Canaveral yesterday morning. We spent the night on a slow boat to China:D coming up the Florida coast in 12' waves. We had to miss a stop at NCL's private Island the day before because we couldn't tender in. We could have driven faster than that:eek: So maybe the seas are still rough. The ship that went out was bigger than these.

Gotta go and get back to the cam.

If you saw the panning to the casino sign, that sign is not moving mechanically:eek:

Seeing that alot. That is not a good thing to see right now.

[deborahjo]

Will they sail out of there at night in questionable weather. I mean is it safe?

I KNOW !!! MA is warmer than Miami today !!! The beach looked like the middle of summer on Cape Cod. It must have been at least 85 on the beach and people were SWIMMING !!! A few days ago we had the heat on in the morning.

Depends on the weather, if it settles down some they will get out and not have issues. If the weather continues to create heavy seas they may not.

WOW.. I've experienced your Maine waters.. (I am a NE'nder) Mid Summer York Beach or Casco Bay bone aching cold.. Can't imagine October!

No,

I think the port might be closed now as the gambling ship has been cancelled.That channel is nasty to get out of in this weather.

No its not safe. I dock my boat at the nearby marina and that channel is not big enough for me.:eek::D

 

A cruise ship could get knocked to one of the sides so I bet they will not be allowed to leave.I can see the ocean from my window here and its bad.

The Carnival sensation has not sailed and will now remain overnight in Port Canaveral as the weather has deteriorated. Weather permitting she will now sail at 7am tomorrow.

It was the high winds that caused the delay at Port Canaveral.

Am I lost here? How does this relate to the OP???:confused:

What a mess that was! Snow, ice, bitter cold. I think even the folks from Green Bay were frozen.

The unplanned weather. We are supposed to give travelers sunny skies and warm weather, NOT a cyclonic wet depression.

 

The other post was also referring to their unplanned cold spell, not their usual weather for that area.

[RuthlessBoss]

thank you. could you please have good weather for us next week!!

You got it!

For non locals, the damage on land was equivelant of a hurricane in areas. Floods, home damage, trees everywhere, power outages. That was SOME STORM! Canaveral took a direct hit!
