[Krazy Kruizers]

Thank you for the reminder.

I will try to be here tomorrow.

[Seafoam Green]

I will try, although I have a meeting this afternoon.

 

Peter, I requested a wave and had a little banner made for 2 weeks(!) from today. I hope you will be able to see us then...

 

:D

[DeeniEncinitas]

Sorry Peter, thanks for the reminder. We will be celebrating our daughters birthday!

Too many fond memories of this old lady we sailed on her when she was in San Diego.

Enjoy the weekend all!

Planning on being here. Thanks for the reminder, Peter!

[erewhon]

Should be here.

[RocketMan275]

Rocketman and Rocketwoman will certainly be here tomorrow to watch Westerdam sail away because next Saturday we will be sailing away on Westerdam. We probably won't be able to post next week so I just want every one to look for RM and RW next week. We'll be on the port side aft wrap on deck five. This will be our first Holland cruise and we're looking forward so much. Wave to us and we'll wave back.

Did you request a wave on the PE webcam? I don't think it is too late to do so if you haven't. That way they will zoom in on you and we will be able to get some screenshots while we are waving.

 

Have a great cruise!

[Boytjie]

I doubt I will be here for the sail-away; we are in the process of moving my MIL into her new, renovated apartment (started Friday); she has been staying with us since August.

 

With some luck I will be able to chill in front of the computer for Sunday's sail-away, with an adult beverage in hand. :)

Westy has picked up her pilot and is almost to the sea buoy... Hope to be back this afternoon...

[Happily@Sea]

And the Queen returns on the PE webcam. Only two more weeks. :D

Hope to be here. The Westy looks small in comparison to the huge Independence and Oasis of the Seas.

[summer slope]

I will be here and on her in 2 weeks. Requested a wave, will be standing next to the Westerdam sign with the TOOT banner.

Great Idea. Just submitted. Should also have an University of Oklahoma banner. Red with white interlocking O and U. (assuming we remember to pack it) We won't be hard to spot. Short fat guy with good looking wife.

Would you like some company [as long as it isn't cold]? My stateroom is on the starboard side.

Absolutely.

[Happily@Sea]

Absolutely.

 

My last two attempts at a place - other than my balcony - haven't worked. Oosterdam - late leaving after dark because of search & rescue delay and next segment - too cold.

 

Hope I haven't jinxed you. :eek:

[summer slope]

I'm sure you won't jinx us....and we will be out there rain or cold. I hope she departs on time so we aren't leaving in the dark.

[Scrapnana]

Did they just say that Westerdam was not leaving until 5 pm (1700)?

And the tradition continues.:D The Sailaway Gang did just that last year as the Westie left FLL for the season. POA took some great photos from his condo and posted them on the sailaway thread, as well.

I hope he gets some of us too. Happily@Sea will be joining DH and me.

I see that the Westerdam is scheduled to leave at 4:45. We will be on the road by that time. We try to have dinner out on Saturdays as much as possible.
