I bounced out of work a bit early, it was a super long day.  I ordered takeout to support a local place during sheltering in place. 

I'm planning on baking on a well earned day off.

 

Chocolate Chip cookies

 Or bread

 

Just read an article about baking being a great stress reliever, so you should bake both. Glad to have helped.🙃

Checking in!

A sailaway will be a nice break from Netflix!

That cargo ship is now cleared and on its way out, so ready for NA.

You'd think that if NADM were really going out at 1600 there would be a pilot somewhere near her now.  At least that's the way it has always been in the past.

We started watching 'Ozark' and now we are up to S2 E5.  Just got an email to advise that S3 is available 🤪

If HAL needs "pretend guests" to volunteer to be aboard for the crew to practice on, I am available for the duration of the shut down.  Why not, I can't do much of anything else sheltered in place at home.

We are supposed to be 'cocooning' (latest buzzword!).  I can think of nowhere better to feel cocooned than a neptune suite or super cocooned in the Pinnacle suite.

Smoke from Nieuw Amsterdam.

Black smoke.

Nieuw A disconnecting her potable water hoses, securing her doors, and then getting rid of her lines and she'll be off to the races

We need a zoom off that big white mess.

I'm guessing she didn't use a jetway for this call.

Nope, no need to, unfortunately, just her crew gangway on A-Deck

[AV8rix]

Oh, I see what's happening now...at least I think I do.  Apparently there is only one pilot working now (Pilot04, according to AIS).  The pilot vessel and the container ship that we saw depart have both arrived at the sea buoy.  I'll bet that the pilot will be heading back in a couple of minutes to take NADM out.

One took off about 15 minutes ago.  Only one I've seen.

Most people returning from world cruises lately have been describing airports as ghost towns.

It is also so odd not seeing the waters filled with all  the small boats!
