ms Maasdam and ms Veendam Sail-Away April 9, 2016

Yes, her lines are dropping

[dfish]

I think I saw movement away from the pier.

The first time I saw the Veendam in person was while she was doing Bermuda from New York. I was leaving on QM2 the next day and saw Veendam headed down the Hudson Tooting like crazy at some sailboats getting in the way. The scene in Ft. Lauderdale reminds me of that.

 

Looks like movement.

I'm sure we're missing a toot or two at the traffic today.

[travelnap]

She's underway.

I wonder who the Captain is. I guess not Pieter Bos.

That fresh coat of paint is looking good. None of the usual scrapes from rubbing up against docks.

[travelnap]

Not too many on the outer decks,

[erewhon]

I am sure she tooted nicely.Pity we could not hear it.

[dfish]

Despite no sound, it was a nice sail away. Have a good evening, everyone.

Pieter Bos has ben on Noordam downunder.

[rafinmd]

Well that's it for today. Thanks Peter, Lou, Dave, and fellow addicts. See you tomorrow, hopefully with sound.

 

Roy

[erewhon]

NA tomorrow. Thanks Boytie, Lou and Dave.:)

[joekerstef]

Always fun watching the dam ships leave. Have a great evening everyone!

[G&G]

Sometime when you're back on line, please let us know how the Veendam tooted.

 

Roy

 

No toots.

 

I believe we had a medical emergency that delayed us an hour.

 

Post drydock: ship in great condition. New carpet, reburb elevators except rail fell off while in it. New napkins at Lido look like dish towels and new LARGE juice glasses at breakfast. Yea.
