Friday Sail-Away?

[Krazy Kruizers]

Just made it,

 

Hi Kathy

 

How is your new computer?

[rafinmd]

The Zuiderdam looks so lonely docked there all by herself.

 

Not lonely. Majestic.

Never really noticed that small boats were allowed to get this close to a moving cruise ship, with the exception of the pilot boat.....

Hi Kathy

 

How is your new computer?

 

Love the new computer. It actually is a little smaller and lighter than my old one. It has traveled well.

I was thinking the same thing but maybe they are not really that close, it is just the angle at which we are seeing it.

Doesn't look like a nice day in Ft Lauderdale.

Oops... posted on the "other" thread. Glad I checked to see if she was leaving on time because she did!

They have to stay a certain amount of distance away, hence the announcement in the beginning and either the Broward County SO or USCG boats around her.

Did TracieABD say where she would be for sailaway?

[Vict0riann]

I hope they will have better weather for their cruise than the weather today!

[alibabacruisers]

Yes, you're right Kathi...maybe since we are this angle makes it seems like close quarters.

 

I am so excited for you as it is getting verrrry close to your upcoming cruise! Been reading your blog and the roll call to keep up with everyone's planning. We still have over a year until it is our turn...so been trying to get info from all of you. Have to make a list of the planned excursions as we go to many of the same places.

Great

When I had to replace one of mine, I didn't think I would like Windows 8 -- but it is

great.

Staff Captain ensuring she's swinging clear of Pier/Berth 25; Safety 1st :)

[Krazy Kruizers]

She is making her turn to head into the channel.

[erewhon]

Swinging around quickly today must have tide with her

[0bnxshs]

wow... just made it!!

[alibabacruisers]

Not too many people up on top today.

[rafinmd]

Sound has turned from the radio to the microphones. Shouldn't be long now.

I love watching them twirl and whirl, turning the ship in such tight quarters.:D

Let me tell you that the year will go by so quickly and it will be your turn for a world voyage!

[alibabacruisers]

Tooting begins.....

[dobiemom]

3 toots! :D

[erewhon]

3 long croaky toots

[PathfinderEss]

Good going Zuiderdam on your tooting. Nice sound......

[rafinmd]

In Orlando (Ocoee) we have a bit of drizzle. I wonder if it's wet in Ft. Lauderdale explaining the scarcity of people on the top decks. Three nice toots, Zuiderdam. Thanks, Lou and Dave.

 

And Victoriann and Shiela.
