:D:D That's hilarious...spill any tea? :)

 

LOL no, I'd already drunk it, thankfully,.:D

Another great job by our favourite captain. When he talked to us about the horn blowing, he was quite animated - he really enjoys it. The only other person he allows to do it is his daughter, LOL.

 

 

oh yes, that was just TOO good Lizzie.

 

I loved how the button sticks on the horn in the spots he's not supposed to blow.

One day I hopefully will be able to be on this ship with this Captain and hear it first hand.....on my bucket list!!

 

Have a great day everyone.:)

[PathfinderEss]

She is still the undisputed 'Queen of Horns'.

[metairiegal]

Bon voyage, Westerdam! :)

[POA1]

Looks quite empty up at our waving spot.

I have to apologize for that. Great photo spot, but you were probably hearing impaired after the horns. It seemed like such a good idea at the time.

[erewhon]

Have to go. Eurodam tomorrow. Thanks Copper, Lou and Dave.:)

[Vict0riann]

Remember, he said we could call him Captain Hornblower?!:D

He is really an awesome Captain. And very good at his job. I wish HAL could clone him.

Great tooting again. Love it! Hope we have Captain Rens when we sail October 31. Does someone know if he will be the captain then?

Yeah, nice view! Pilot boat just passed her stbd quarter enroute to her pilot break - ladder is rigged and ready/pilot on the way to the break

[Lizzie68]

She is still the undisputed 'Queen of Horns'.

 

Absolutely! And the best backer-upper as well.

 

That's it for me, I have errands to run. See you all next time.

It's the 2nd edition (1st was just 3 days ago) of the sail away of the undisputed "Queen of the whistles", the 3rd of the Vista-class vessels, ms Westerdam. She's scheduled for a 1600 departure (subject to change as always) from Port Everglades' Berth #26.

 

 

She did a 3-nighter before this one? Wonder where it sailed to? Just curious - anybody know?

no worries - but we really didn't hear them.

 

A great sail a way though for sure.

[keeponcruising]

I'm happy for everyone who got to hear the birds :)

 

Also happy for all those people sailing today!

 

So the bird noise was coming from the computer. I heard it too.

[mrspeck]

The Oasis as we left port

[lka1012]

Hope to see everyone tomorrow. Will not be here next week, going to a historical (medieval) re-enactment.

[keeponcruising]

I heard they were looking for the nurse. Someone checked off #1 on the health form. What is that?

[Vict0riann]

That was over too quickly!:( I want more! Any other good tooters coming up?

[PathfinderEss]

A big thanks to Captain van Eerten for job well done today. Backing up and tooting.

It was a charter and she didn't have to go very far; Nassau and HMC in the Bahamas
