Lived up to our expectations - maybe even more! Still tooting - anyone counting?

 

Disregard;)

trying to - but it's tough with the short toots - and she is still going.

 

The most I could count was around 115 - but I think there were more than that :p

 

What a show - hope we get the same one is April, 2015:)

HAL should start an auction...

Would you like to toot the toots? Highest bidder gets to do it as you sail out on the most awesome Westerdam. :)

 

The person doing the toots today.... all I can say ...is..... WOW!

Whew.... thought the tooter was stuck for a bit there. LOL

 

No other ship can touch the Westerdam...and her tooter. ;)

[Mumsysailor]

Woweee!!! That's set the standard for the others since she went out first!

[startwin]

It was really impossible to count, but it was a dam fine job! Was that the same grumpy captain we heard a little while ago? He cheered up in a hurry:D?

[alibabacruisers]

Crown Princess seems to always be so anxious to get the heck out of port.....

[mamaofami]

Crown Princess on the move.

[Vict0riann]

One day a lot of us will be on board to hear the tooting! Maybe we'll need earplugs....:)

Captain Rens van Erteen, Master Tooter!

 

You've got his "e's" scrambled ;)

[rafinmd]

Just back from our Cub Scout Pinewood Derby. Heard about 2 mild toots, apparently the last of an impressive show.

 

Now trying to catch up on events at our local mall. I had breakfast there and left about 2 hours before the chaos. The last of our group left about 45 minutes ahead of time.

[maun]

 

Wow, that must have been some plate of beans he had for lunch!

[erewhon]

Missing Joanie counting the toots.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Once again I lost tract of her toots.

[musicismylife]

That's scary Roy, glad all of your group is safe.

[startwin]

Anything else will be an anti-climax, so I am heading out into the garden to work in the sunshine. And off to the gym later.... got to lose that weight before my cruise.:( See you all next time.

Roy, I heard about the mall shooting...is that close to you? So sad to hear about this.

We can only hope - the last time we were on our Captain had left and she barely did three toots. :( Hopefully she is still the Queen of Horns when we board next year:D

[Chelly]

Thanks John, I went back and fixed it.

Captain van Eerten is one of the most personable Masters whom I have met. He is a very pleasant gentleman.

Have a great day outside and I wish I was as good as you in going to the gym!

Good afternoon from the Riverside Hotel on Las Olas...the Carrie B. paddleboat just went by our hotel window on the River. LOVE this hotel.

 

We drive by the port and I could see all the ships from the 17th Street Bridge. I remarked to DH, "there's the Tooting Champ" and I think he thought I was nuts ! We've had a busy day so I'll be watching it from my netbook in our hotel room...same as you! Maybe tomorrow we'll drive down to see Eurodam and NA.

horrible. glad you are safe Roy :D

That will be it for me today, are we on for tomorrow?

 

One day I have to sail the Westie with a Toot-master. I cannot make the Sail-Away cruise. This is the one year that I can NOT miss a function of an organization I belong to as it will be our 40th anniversary. Any year for a X5 year I could do it. Durn.
