Oosterdam in English Bay on web cam

[midgecruiser]

Check out this web cam to see the Oosterdam in the distance. I'm still looking for a better shot but this is what I can find for now. Wendy

OK, so the camera angle is changing but you can look in the archive area at the bottom of the page and enter a time frame to look at photos. The best shot so far is today at 1405 but the other shots do show the Odam in the distance. Looks like she still might be running trials. Wendy

Yup, that's my favorite ship out there in the distance. Thanks:)

Wow, exellent picture quality on that web cam, very sharp!

Yes, Oosterdam has been in sea trials since yesterday afternoon and everything is going very well so far!

No screwdriver heard clanging around in the new pod housing?? ;)

:eek: OMG I hope not!!! She deserves to have a very smooth Alaska season.:)

jhannah, I always wondered what happened during the drydock to cause the pod failure or whether it was just a coincidence.

We just got off the San Diego-Victoria cruise, and met the Hotel Manager, James Deering one night in the Pinnacle Grill.

 

He said, indeed, it was a tool of some kind, left behind. They couldn't tell if it was a screwdriver or wrench, it had melted.

 

The new pod is smaller than the one coming out. The original pods are 17 megawatt ( ?? ) and the replacement is 14. The damaged one was working at about 50% of normal.

 

The damaged pod is being sent for repairs, then coming back to be reinstalled in Sept/Oct.

Very cool! Wasn't expecting her to be here this early - I wonder if she's going to anchor overnight in English Bay or make her way to Canada Place?

Aaron, Yes, she will anchor over night, then tomorrow dock at Canada Place, at least that is the plan:)

[midgecruiser]

Looks like they have finally parked her. Not to much movement over the last hour. Wendy

Thanks very much for that, Lisa. It's a bit of a treat to be able to see the Oosterdam from my apartment :)

 

On that note, I made a quick little jaunt down to English Bay to snap this photo (it's a touch blurry due to the digital zoom though...)

[InTheWASide]

Yo have no IDEA how pumped this has me for tomorrow morning!!

 

Thanks for posting you guys! Since we took the train up here and are staying at the Hampton Inn near BC Place, it's not SUPER easy to get down to Canada Place to just "see if she's there yet"

 

This really made my day!

Aaron, bless you. That's a beautiful picture:) What a lovely city you live in!

[LAFFNVEGAS]

Oh Aaron that is beautiful and with that sail boat in front of it and the mountains behind her:) Thanks so much for sharing that with us.

[Atomica]

Thank you Karin and Lisa for your kind words. I actually took 4 pictures, but I liked this one best precisely because of the sailboat.

 

And InTheWASide, you're going to love your time on the Oosterdam - I'd do this cruise every year if I could get the time off work!

[Copper10-8]

Great shot, Aaron! I echo Karin's sentiment about the Vancouver area! Now, if only your hockey team could get their caca together and beat those former Disney characters from down the road from here!;)

[midgecruiser]

Aaron, what a great picture !! Thanks, Wendy

[PathfinderEss]

Wonderful picture Arron, she looks so beautiful sitting out there.

Aaron I love you dearly but you SUCK!!! I wish I could be there to see that :-) and as i've told you before it's not blurry at all it's just your eyes ;-P

[LAFFNVEGAS]

I see that when I posted the picture several posts ago that the picture stay live so now it is dark.

I kept the current web cam post to my computer.

[IheartHAL]

Took these about an hour ago...

[LAFFNVEGAS]

Very nice picture IheartHAL:) Thanks

[fcorey]

Very nice picture IheartHAL:) Thanks

 

Lisa, pod repairs aside did James say what other work was being done during this mini drydock?

[Copper10-8]

This is by far the best webcam I've seen - large screen, clear, great quality plus it keep updating automatically, awesome!
