Is that The Dawn leaving Bermuda @ about 5pm ?

Yes, it should be - she arrived in Bermuda on Sunday and left this afternoon. Arrives back in Boston on Friday.

Sorry, I thought it left on Wednesday. I sailed on the Dawn two years ago to Bermuda.

 

I guess it's time to go again. Thanks for reply.

Summit and Breakaway (sailing from NJ & NY) arrive Wednesday-there till Friday.

 

Have a great cruise when you go again!

We are scheduled to depart Bermuda @5:30PM on Tuesday in October. I hope they don't leave early then.

Yes, there's a 1 hour time zone difference with BDA on ADT. Her scheduled sail time was 5:30 PM ship/local time (4:30 PM EDT) and was watched it live on Dockyard's live webcam.

 

It left about 10 minutes late as if it was waiting, dock workers were standing by on time to release the ropes that secured her to the berth. I'm sure others were watching as well, the smaller gangway (starboard, midship was still down) and saw 2 crew dressed in white coming off the gangway, can't tell for sure if they're taking items off the ship (passports & luggage ???) - with some pax on the promenade looking over ... maybe somebody missing & not unaccounted for, about to be enrolled to the infamous "Pier Runners Club"

 

Within 2 or 3 minutes, they all returned to the ship via the gangway (not the wide/regular one used by pax to go ashore) and then began to pull it up, then, the door was closed about 4:35 PM. In the next minute, the dock workers started moving & once the ropes got released with the slacks ... those on the ship began rewinding and by 7:40 PM, ship was moving sideway, thrusters working & started going in reverse at a slip angle - off she go, destination Boston. Dockyard's live cam pan around for a little bit and didn't see anyone running after the ship or chasing ... hopefully, everyone that came with the Dawn was onboard & didn't miss the sailing.

 

Marine forecast indicating slight to moderate seas outside the reefs of just 2' to 4' - further out into the Atlantic >>> Oceanweather maps suggesting seas of 6' to 10' & nothing higher than 12' to 15' at most - it's a good crossing for most.

 

Have a smooth & safe ride back to Boston & that new coat of exterior paint is looking great too :cool:

Oops, my mistake. I assumed the OP was talking ADT from the webcam since there are so many different time zones represented on this message board. Leaving Bermuda late is okay, just not early! :eek:
