ms Amsterdam and ms Volendam in Juneau May 26, 2017

I see the Volendam arriving.

All the ships today have dark hulls. That doesn't happen often.

A zoom!

Good job, webcam person!

And they look like ships not floating condos.:)

I am really disliking this new AS dock - blocks the two docks behind from our viewing pleasure.:mad:

I guess that's it for this week. Thanks Lou&Dave and Kathi.

Even though it is cloudy -- still a decent day in Juneau.

And just think, we have the whole season yet to go...

It's still better than no sail-ins at all - like two summers ago.:(

I don't like the new dock either.

Maybe I will make it for some days next week.

Lots of rain so far this week and more days of rain predicted.

nooooooooooo !!!!!!

I realize that Amsterdam is very early but why is she just sitting there? Couldn't she go slowly?

That's because we overnighted in Stephens Passage 😊

Hope you are enjoying your visit to Juneau.

I don't understand why they are having issues with the bollards. Two larger ships have docked at the AS and CT docks and not had a problem.:confused:

The linemen felt that the bollard we wanted for our stern line belonged to Volendam. it took the port agent to walk to the stern to convince them otherwise. Longshoremen are a different breed........:confused:

Hope you are enjoying your visit to Juneau.

Thanx Carol; it's always nice in Jueau

Having Mexican dinner I town tonite since we're leaving late:D

Sounds exactly right.

 

 

Finally, a move!

Hey Roy; how are you doing since Huatulco?

Hey Roy; how are you doing since Huatulco?

Very well but I'd love to still be at sea.

I could swear I've seen 2 ships run lines to the same bollard before. Never thought they belonged exclusively to a single ship.

The prob re: putting lines from 2 ships one one bollard comes in at departure time and depends on who leaves first. prob #2 has to do with linehandlers thinking they decide where the lines go The ship has a docking plan it wants to follow

Great to hear from you, Copper! We've missed you on the sail-away threads! Hope you enjoy your dinner in town.
