Saturday, January 26, Is Eight Enough, Sail Away....

[rkacruiser]

Civilians standing in the Oasis's Port Bridge Wing! I thought the new regulations issued by the CLIA after the Costa Concordia accident prohibited such visits during critical manuvering times. I would think a port departure, particularly from such a busy port as Port Everglades, would qualify for such a time.

[quote]If you have any suggestions for tours, etc. I'll happily take them. We know St. Martin but not the other islands.

[B]I'm not the best one to ask about tours anymore. We've been to the islands so many times over 35+ years that we really don't do tours anymore. I can't speak for the quality etc of the tours they offer today. But I'm certainly happy to answer any questions when I can. :)

I think I heard some toots, but again very faint. Something is up or is that down with the sound. Too bad. But lots of happy looking cruisers on deck for sailaway.

We did not hear any toots from the Oasis.

I could have sworn I saw her moving away away from the dock and now she is tied up again. :confused:

I saw this same thing a week or so ago when the Vision of the Seas sailed. Did Royal Caribbean not get the message?

[SIZE=3]even the pain meds were low - after all the more you give her the more she thinks she can do:eek:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]I don't think any meds will slow this dog down. It's a matter of surveillance, commands and (sometimes) the kennel.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]She is a mix of a sheltie, chow and terrier at our best guess.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]she would normally dance for a cookie, jumps to go 'outside' and prances when people come home.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]the orthopaedic surgeon that I was lucky enough to get to do the job is the best in the province, Atlantic Canada and I don't know for sure but I would guess in Canada. She is very skilled.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]If the dog gets too many pills, then she may slip and break the leg. No cast as she has to start using it.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]She is part of the SPCA huge raid - 60 dogs - starving - eating wood - and being beaten - a horrible puppy mill. Even worse - there were another 200 in Quebec:eek:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]anyways I digress from the sail a way with apologies. she's a tough little girl - very sweet and worth every effort:D[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]apologies again for the thread drift:o[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Many thanks to Lou and Dave for a fantastic webcam.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][COLOR=darkred][B]Don't you just love puppy mills, not............[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[B][SIZE=3][COLOR=darkred]I still would have thought that ACE promazine (sp) would have taken some of that energy down. All in all sounds like your doing good, I know what a handful energetic.
dogs can be.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]

[SIZE=3][COLOR=darkred][B]Looks like the Eclipse is untied..........and working their thrusters.......:) [/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

Apparently it's to late to toot for the Eclipse . . . I wonder if there is a toot curfew or something . . .
