MS Westerdam -Sail-Away- Mar 15, 2014

[Copper10-8]

Being a Kiwi, captain too shy to express himself fully.:D:D

 

Always thought he was 100% Kiwi but, apparently, he's 100% Brit with Kiwi connections. Wonder if he knows/does the Haka once in a while ;)

Back to Saturday Projects. Thanks Dave and Lou for the fine coverage. Hope to see all of you back tomorrow for Sail-Away, Toots and laughs.;)

 

Night Chief, thanks for hosting.

[erewhon]

Good view of departing ships on cam3.

[K&RCurt]

That was fun!

 

I saw some guy on our balcony. I hope he leaves our suite in good shape!

 

I think it's a good thing that I am normally busy on Saturday afternoons, this could be addictive!

 

I will see if I can set up a "wave" for next week!

[Mumsysailor]

That was good!

 

Well...that's about it for me, we leave early, and have to get up at 3am tomorrow.

 

Good night! :):)

 

Safe travels. Have fun.

Small boat flotilla coming in now.

[jrzebird]

Ten toots. Not bad.

 

When I was onboard a couple of weeks ago, the Captain had an impromptu presentation and Q&A session(because we had to miss Half Moon) . Someone asked him about his horn blowing and he was pleased to confirm he really enjoys it, and he has done so many toots upon departure that people can't keep track. He said he's done over 100 on several occasions. I was laughing outloud, since I know how true it is!

 

For some reason I couldn't get sound today and only long distance views of her leaving. Wish I was onboard. One of my best friends is sailing today.

Make sure to tell us where to look for you and how to identify you. We'll wave - frantically.

[Copper10-8]

Lots of small traffic today incl. the kids in their little sailboats under escort

[Vict0riann]

That was fun

 

I will see if I can set up a "wave" for next week!

 

We'll be watching for you, and usually, if someone has requested a wave, the camera zooms in and stops on them, so we'll know!

Gosh the Oasis is huge - I don't think I'd care to sail on something that big; just wayyy too many folks!

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

I agree.

But you can go zip-lining on her Your Honor! ;)

Be sure to let us know where you will be waving from.

The Westie has a new Captain now. Captain Scott. Somewhat new to the demands of the horn addicts, but 10 was better than 3.

[Copper10-8]

Her huge lifeboats extend partially overboard

[ger_77]

But you can go zip-lining on her Your Honor! ;)

 

Yeah, about that zip-lining; there isn't enough alcohol onboard that would entice me to do that.

 

Captain on the public address system: "Okay folks, we've turned this thing around, now everyone get out and help push!!!"

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

Come on, live a little! ;)

[Copper10-8]

Someone just got hailed by the Sheriff :cool:

[ger_77]

John, your idea of living and my idea of living are a little far removed . . . :-)

[rkacruiser]

I would need to visit the Wizard of Oz in order to get enough courage to go zip-lining!

[Mumsysailor]

Come on, live a little! ;)

 

I'm with ger_77 tried zip-lining and embarrased myself when I had to back down. Ooops:o

[Copper10-8]

Staff Captain (or Captain) on the bridge wing

[rkacruiser]

Someone just got hailed by the Sheriff :cool:

 

Would they get a ticket? A warning?
