ms Amsterdam & ms Noordam together in Juneau, AK - August 4, 2016

[Happily@Sea]

Only about 10 more minutes before she travels behind the other ships and lost to sight.

 

Then I'll be back in about 2 1/2 hours.

 

 

ETA: She's moving a lot quicker than I thought.

Noordam getting underway "shortly".

Same comment. :D

[Scrapnana]

Sounds like people are jumping in the water.

[Happily@Sea]

Lots of smoke and a huge space on the portside.

[Scrapnana]

She left the dock quietly. I wonder why sometimes we can hear the captain giving commands and other times we cannot.:confused:

15 minutes early.

 

In the meantime I checked marinetraffic and the Kennicott is well on her way south of Ketchikan headed for me.

I love to watch them when they are going sideways.

 

 

I like that too, the 180 circle is also mesmerizing.

Let's hope this nice weather stays for awhile.

[Scrapnana]

A zoom!

[rafinmd]

Thank you for the zoom.

[Happily@Sea]

And a camera operator, if she hadn't left early, we would have seen more.

[Scrapnana]

Another double-header tomorrow. See you then!

[Happily@Sea]

There goes the Noordam.

 

See you tomorrow at 8 am for Maasdam and Volendam at the regular 1 pm arrival.

[frostyeric]

Lots of action!

[rafinmd]

I guess that's it for tonight. I hope to be here tomorrow for the Maasdam sailin (from Vancouver) and the sailaway (from Bellingham) but the Volendam sailin is iffy as I need to be out of my hotel before then.

 

I was just thinking I'll probably pass the Noordam sometime Saturday night but will most likely be asleep.

Roy: What ship will you be sailing on?

[rafinmd]

Roy: What ship will you be sailing on?

 

The Alaska ferry Kennicott, Bellingham WA to Whittier. After 5 days in Anchorage and Denali I board the Crystal Serenity from Seward to New York.

Just got off the web cam, beautiful harbour in the evening, lots of day light still. Can see the Maasdam approaching but her speed is listed as 0.1k.
