The Fort Lauderdale sailaway season gets off to a glorious start

[mamaofami]

Lots of smoke now. Time to go.:):)

Yes, and it's great to hear they have a mandatory drill at 5PM.It should be at 5AM.Nice talking to everyone, but it's time for some action here.

 

The punishment needs to fit the crime. I actually wouldn't mind a 5AM makeup drill.

Anyone see the white trucks?

 

Haven't spotted one yet. But Lou/Dave usually zoom in when the truck appears.

 

 

 

And - zoom! White truck alert!

[LMaxwell]

Thanks for the technical help, found the elusive volume control !

[Vict0riann]

Ropes being taken in - and gangway - so there must be LWTs somewhere! Usually Lou and Dave zoom in around now!

 

And there we go - little white trucks and ropes! Perfect timing!

[mamaofami]

Lines up on the ship on the right facing the screen. Think that's Maasdam but not sure. Now I see a white car and the men letting go the lines.

Ropes going down on the Zuidy

Do I remember that HAL changed contractors for the port staff in Port Everglades this year. I wonder if some of the staff are still figuring out what to do.

Zoomed in on the Zuiderdam.

Her lines are going down.

Zuiderdam looks ready to sail.

[startwin]

Looks like Zuidy is out first:)

 

And someone on the cameras is teasing us!!

And they've zoomed in for us. Thanks, Lou and Dave.

And I think some smoke from Zuidy.

Maasdam is at 26 -- in the channel.

Zuiderdam is at 21 -- bow facing us.

Zaandam is at 19 -- bow facing inland.

[Vict0riann]

And the last ropes being hauled in.

 

And she's moving.

[startwin]

And she's off!

 

Missing Sheila - she's usually the first to say that, LOL.

Ahoy Everyone! :)

 

Ready for the start of the season!

 

Hope everyone is well

[rafinmd]

I'm sure Shiela would much rather be where she is (and aliaschief as well). Well, now the fun begins.

Zuiderdam is on the move.

[startwin]

Gotta go now, running late for my meeting. At least I saw Zuidy pull out! Have fun all.:)
