Checking in. The weather in Ft Lauderdale is much nicer, here it's 0C and about 2" of wet snow and has been coming down all day.

I don't know witch is worse - a tornado warning or a major gas leak. We have had a few tornados come down around our area.

We all got the call at 12:30 that a house down the street from us smelled gas. Within a few minutes 8 fire trucks from our 2 volunteer companies, 4 from a neighboring community volunteer company and 9 police cars were all over the place. Fortunately the gas leak was confined to only 1 house and their gas is now shut off. We all waited for the second call to tell us if we had to leave the area. Thankfully that didn't happen.

scary stuff, glad you ok.

Ugg!:eek:

 

At this moment it is not looking too bad in FLL but of course in 15 minutes there could be a downpour.

[Copper10-8]

Was that the Conquest talking to the NA about timing being they are trapped.

 

That was Silhouette's OOW talking to EUDM's OOW; she's berthed at #25 while EUDM is behind her at #26. EUDM would prefer her to go first but she (Silhouette) is slated for 1630, 30 min after EUDM's scheduled departure, EUDM is bow in (facing south) down the ICW while Silhouette is facing north

NADM wants to go at 1545

[Scrapnana]

One of the dams is trying for 3:45.

We may be in luck. The front is well south of FLL and moving to the east. Of course they will be sailing into the mess...

I'll bet that is fun to back around another ship in the narrow river...

Thanks Copper, I just think its the poor Conquest because she is alway trapped between NA and Allure.

It'll be interesting to watch

[Lizzie68]

Checking in. Hope to be able to stay long enough for both sailaways.

NADM starting her safety drill with everyone checking in to 'master control'

That was alarming, pleased that you did not have to leave the area.

[Lizzie68]

The audio is excellent today. Really easy to follow what's happening but what was with the NA medical check in?

[Copper10-8]

NADM Master Control is her GRM, in this case, Mr. Dustin

So that's where he went! He is a personal friend, lives quite close by. Previously he was on the Zuiderdam.

[Copper10-8]

NADM's different life boat stations (the deck officers assigned to them) now checking in

[Krazy Kruizers]

Checking back in.

Had to leave for a few minutes while the gas company checked our house along with many others.

[Scrapnana]

"target of interest" does not sound good.

We were glad that we didn't have to leave.

Friday a water pipe in the driveway of the house next door to us had to be replaced as it had been leaking since Wednesday. We had to leave for a few hours as many of us didn't have water.

[Krazy Kruizers]

"target of interest" does not sound good.

 

 

I have been listening to that as well.

Navy speak; USCG want to board a vessel and is asking BSO for assistance

[Lizzie68]

Checking back in.

Wow, lots of excitement in your street today.:eek:

[Krazy Kruizers]

Some cabins didn't report to lifeboat drill.
