To All The Sailaway Addicts

Watch out for the minkeys ;)

 

They'd better watch out for me!;)

Thanks, John.

 

My last time in Tampa was with Blount Small Ship Adventures and we docked at the Marriott Waterside. It's about a mile from the big ship terminal, so I expect capturing toots from there is unlikely. It looks like the Ryndam's next visit there is November 16. That will be turnaround day in Tenerife on my Wind Star B2B, so I'll try to find an internet cafe. I think it's a bit iffy that I'll make it.

Are you doing a trans-Atlantic on Windstar?

At least what Windstar calls a Transatlantic. It ends in Barbados.

Looks like she's in the Seddon Channel now; 1830 local arrival at the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, that's an hr and forty from now

Nice; maybe you'll really luck out and get Captain Harris

[Vict0riann]

Roy, we will be in Tenerife on Nov. 10 - I'll tell them you're coming!

Back to ATC audio from TPA; nice change! ;)

Its really going to be fun watching the Ryndam this season going out of Tampa.

I watched the Carnival Paradise sail this afternoon and it was quite interesting. The sailaway area much larger than from any of the other ports and the camera was able to follow the ship quite clearly for a long time. The marine audio is sparse as compared to Fort Lauderdale, but the operators of the site have incorporated the Air Traffic Control audio for Tampa's airport. Very interesting to listen to this and makes me even more amazed that we all reach our destinations by plane as safely as we do!

I think Dave and Lou have an interesting sense of humor. I've been watching today's sailaways and the Oasis of the Seas is heading out on a transatlantic and a stay in drydock. As she pulled away from the dock, "Time to Say Goodbye" was playing, I'm pretty sure from the condos. (and again as it's passing the condos).

 

I had said earlier on this thread that when I sail on QM2 October 28 the Eurodam would be making a port call in New York the same day. I was mistaken, it's the Maasdam. I'm booked at the Harbor House B&B (site of the NYHarbor webcam) and am looking forward to a good view of Maasdam's arrival.

Did I miss something? (must admit I haven't read the entire thread) but is there now a web cam for Tampa? We will be sailing from there in February.

Just a reminder that the first of the season PTZtv sailaway of a HAL ship is on Sunday. It is from NYC so no toots but at least it is a fix for the sail-away addicts. Eurodam is scheduled to sail at 5 pm EDST.

Thanks for the reminder Scrapnana. The least I can do join in this one

 

Thanks to everyone who waved us off from NYC a few weeks ago. We had a fabulous trip and we were thinking of you all as we sailed out under that bridge with just 4 meters clearance. :eek:

[mamaofami]

I drove past NCL and Carnival Splendor in NY harbor earlier today. Was wishing it was Sunday so I could have seen Eurodam.

[Vict0riann]

Amsterdam is here today. I've seen lots of tour busses around - but I didn't go down to Ogden Point. It would make me sad!

[catfluff]

Ann, we went down last night (Friday) to catch our very first glimpse of the Westerdam and watched the Golden Princess arrive.

Unfortunately the Eurodam docked too early for me today and I'll be on my way out of Charleston when it leaves. Have a great sailaway, everybody. I'm pretty sure this is the first HAL sailaway with the new port of New York camera in operation.

Is there interest in a sailaway thread for the Eurodam today?
