ms Koningsdam and Veendam in Port Everglades December 10, 2018

[Dogstar]

Thanks @Scrapnana for these reminders. I usually miss the actual Sal-Away festivities due to weekend chores or weekday work. Hopefully today I won't ... we're sailing away on the K'dam this afternoon. 🎉

 

🙋🏼‍♂️ Favour from y'all, please ... kindly grab a webcam screengrab or two for our e-scrapbook.

 

You may even catch a glimpse of a rare @Dogstar & Mrs. Dogstar appearance in FLL/PE along the topside railing, port side, mid-ship. Flying the 🇨🇦 & balancing 🍹's. 

 

Happy Monday!!!

You have a lot of work to undertake over the next few days......don't know if you really have time to be balancing 🍷🍷 on topside railing!

Have a great cruise!

I'll try to get you as you pass by. We're in the condos with the blue glass railings as you pass in the channel. I will be on the Zuiderdam when you get back, but I can send you the photo after boxing day.  Have a great trip!

I have a 3PM church meeting, and may miss the sail away if it's on time.  Kathi, do you still have power?

Happy to hear you wil be having the flag 🙂 

 

Have a great cruise.  We'll be watching for you.

 

Hopefully the ship leaves on time and I can catch it.  Puppy's dinner interferes sometimes with sail a way.

They ruined that ship with overhang.  Glad the did not do it to the other S class ships

Checking in.

Both ships listed for 1700 departure, but Veendam wishes to leave at 1600. Harbourmaster not happy that 2hr notice not given.

Luckily, yes!  Didn't even flicker and cable is still working.

Checking back in

Helicopters at the Naval Surface Warefare compound across from the webcam.

What am I hearing?

[Scrapnana]

Not a very pretty day in FLL but it sure beats the foot of snow we have!!!

[Happily@Sea]

We've been in the 40s all day in NC Florida - but - no snow. I'll be glad when this cold snap is over.

 

[lka1012]

We are in the low 40s and sunny

[Krazy Kruizers]

The snow and ice storm all went south of us -- again.

 

But it is cold 26.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Is the Veendam going to leave at 4 -- I hope?

[lka1012]

Is it a drill week?

Sounds like either a Coast Guard Jayhawk from Opa Locka/Miami and/or a Navy Seahawk from Key West. Too bad there is no operator

Dropping lines but can't leave yet because of Personnel issues.(?Veendam)

[erewhon]

Seranade of Seas underway.

[Scrapnana]

Good-bye toot?

[erewhon]

Veendam going to wait for SOTS.

[Copper10-8]

Serenade OTS has no issues getting past K-dam on the ICW. Might be a different story with the Edge 

 

Kia ora Phil!

[Scrapnana]

Interesting.  The ship at 29 usually waits for any in front to go.
