Cargo ship leading the way for Noordam .

That's some fancy maneuvering on Noordam's part.

[innlady1]

She's doing well...no wonder they needed a tug or two!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Well KK went to get cocktails, I am waiting for the drinks to get passed around :cool:

 

 

Plenty of Grey Goose for everyone.

 

Sorry -- picture didn't take.

Tug New River now going to Liberty so it appears everyone of the heavies is departing with tug assistance

So awesome to watch...and know that I'll be onboard in 32 days!

Two tugs for Noordam.

Noordam looks tiny compared to the Liberty!

I was just going to post that, Sheila. Quite a difference in size.

You are right.

[gentlemancruiser]

You are right.

 

Looks kind of sad watching the Noordam with two tugs.

Thanks for the drinks KK, but too early in the morning for us:D

Sooooo....the tugs must pull the ship...not push it. Otherwise the tugs would be on the port side of the Noordam....no?

[mamaofami]

Can someone take a screen shot?

[Krazy Kruizers]

Right Sheila -- they have to pull -- no way for them to get on the port side while at the dock.

Thanks, Yonnie...I'll have one! That reminds me...when we had our inn, someone sent a gift of a bottle of Grey Goose to their friends who were staying with us. They had one drink, at the most, and left the rest behind. I certainly enjoyed that!!!

The sun is shining on her!!

They do both! They are not attached with lines to NODM at the moment

Perfect picture of her bell as she sailed by. Thanks, Lou and Dave.
