ms Volendam in Juneau August 9, 2019

[Scrapnana]

Friday will be a very quiet day in Juneau with only two cruise ships in port.

 

Volendam will be at the CT dock (and there will not be a ship at the AS dock blocking our view) from 1300-2200.

 

Disney Wonder will be at the AJ dock from 0645-1645.

 

The forecast is for a mostly sunny day and a high of 75F/24C and a low of 51F/10C.  Sunrise is at 5:06 am and sunset at 9:59 pm.

Next up:  the Signature Sisters on Monday.

What a beautiful and warm day in Juneau.

 

Can't stay -- beautiful day here -- staying outside.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Wishing all the Volendam passengers a great day in Juneau.

See you all on Monday for the Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam.

If it stays panning when Volendam gets here, I'm not sure how long I'm going to stay around. There is always hope.

Chuggin' up the Gastineau at a pretty good clip, nearly abeam Thane.  I'm here today (and not lurking, for a change) because I don't believe that I've ever actually seen Volendam and I'll be on her for the first time next month.

[rafinmd]

First Securite I've heard today for Volendam.

Beautiful day but no noisemakers.

Camera FINALLY aimed south and still no sight.  Should be able to see her about now.

[rafinmd]

I think I see Volendam midway between light pole and Disney.

Thought I saw superstructure behind Disney this time.

[rafinmd]

There she is in the clear although there isn't a lot of contrast.

Are you on a ship now Roy or are you on land presently?

On land.  Next ship is Empress OTS on the 18th.

I don't like the new dock(s) in Juneau.  I used to love it when we'd berth RIGHT NEXT to the library so I could just run over there to pick up email, then put the laptop back on the ship and didn't have to lug it around with me all day.
