Down goes the lines

So much boat activity around the Zuiderdam right now. Don't they know we are waiting for sailaway - get outta the way!:D

[alibabacruisers]

Lines let go...

[PathfinderEss]

Did anybody see an ambulance and fire truck like we did the other day?

 

Yep.......

[PathfinderEss]

.....and she is pushing away from the dock.

[Lizzie68]

Could they only just be doing muster drill, or is the captain practicing with the horns?

 

And we're off.

I'd hate to be the one backing out of that spot!:o I always have to pull thru rather than have to back out!

[Boytjie]

Same here... last year was #12 I think. I'd go back in a minute!

 

Zuiderdam was our third, second on HAL (Amsterdam was #1)

Well good afternoon Princess Candy!:) How have you been?

 

I've been fine, thankyouverymuch! Jim, on the other hand, is taking a break from cruising, and that means so am I :(

 

We'll prolly sail Westy in early spring.

Had another Facetime chat with my friends in 7151 as they dropped the last line. :D

[Scrapnana]

Are we waving to anyone today?

[Boytjie]

I am not getting video using Firefox - it was fine this morning. I have video using IE.

I think that was a warning to other boats in the area that Zuiderdam was about to move.

Got a good bunch going on Westerdam for re-positioning through the Canal in April...... ;)

[aliaschief]

Just a reminder that the Champ is back in port tomorrow.

 

Westerdam has been resting her throat and not tooting much this week in preparation for tomorrow's sail away.

[rafinmd]

I think that's about the fastest I've seen a ship backing.

I watch one camera and CC on IE and the other cam on Google Chrome.

Last time I was on her it was surprisingly quick, too. This guy's a good driver.;)

 

BOYTJIE - are your friends going to be on their balcony waving?

How was your cruise? Plus one day to go for your next. Jealousy settling in!:)

[alibabacruisers]

Well, must say that the Zuiderdam sure has a nice profile!

[PathfinderEss]

We were on her in 10', 12' and 13'.

[Lizzie68]

Cowbells and horns this week.:D

[alibabacruisers]

Deep throaty toots from the Zuiderdam! Have to go for now...it has been a short bit of fun today! See ya'll tomorrow!

Nice tooting Zuiderdam and the condo's go wild. 8 toots not bad Zuiderdam.

[Scrapnana]

6 long and 3 short. OK.
