Rules do not apply to some The uninvited guests I remember from the last time we were there a couple of years ago were the sea lions, that would jump onto the low aft transoms of the fishing boats and beg for the scraps from the fishermen cleaning their catch. I was never fast enough to get a good photo, but they were so comical, both DW and I fell about laughing.

I'm going to have to try to think of all the ports we hit that were "Greek, then Roman, then Venetian before thus and so happened." (I shouldn't probably say that -- The ports were all beautiful, but they did tend to run together with so many in a row.) BTW, thanks for starting this thread; I'm really enjoying it (although some may think Copper 10-8 and I may be having a bit too much fun playing "Can You Top This" with each other 😁) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those tan uniforms and orange day-glo vests in the distance look familiar 😉 plus Veendam is flying the Argentinian national colors from her starboard side main mast Edited September 29, 2020 by Copper10-8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesea777 Posted September 29, 2020 #874 Share Posted September 29, 2020 It's easy as to where Prinsendam is but which port, when, and who's the captain? P.S. I don't know who's the captain but I'm sure someone will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was before Veendam was due to start coming to Bermuda on weekly basis in Summer 2010, and it was our first time seeing Veendam. He was due to spend 4 days/3 overnights, docking in both St. George's and Hamilton .... but when we saw him we exclaimed that he's too big to enter the Town Cut to St. George's ... unfortunately we were correct. He ended up docked the whole time in Hamilton whenever he came to Bermuda the next few summer seasons. The last photo is the Veendam, several hours later, in the Beagle Channel (as we were) waiting for the Argentinan passport patrol to board to give okay to leave Argentina. It was late at night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
