Thank you for posting!

Oosterdam - Her solitary Alaska season is winding down after her redeployment switch with Westerdam [so Westie could drydock in Italy], only 5 more visits to go after today, followed by her west coast itinerary for winter and then she returns to Europe for Spring/Summer 2018.

I expect to be here.

The really yucky day in Juneau is very much like the one in central VA (which is why I am not at the pool). It is, at least, warmer here than in Juneau (it is 51 there right now).

I'm planning to be on that last Juneau stop of the season (for Oostie) and beyond ;)

You're not going to be far from home - once she starts her Mexican Rivera season. Are you on long enough to do one of the PC transits? First one is Oct 21st.

Yes, both - After four years being home, I'll do the holidays on board this year; it's only fair plus it's a good time to be on board

This will be my 3rd Christmas and New Years [in a row] - on board. 3 different classes of ships.

I hope you have a nice holiday aboard. :)

Do you not have any more Road Scholar cruises booked?

Midway up the Glass Peninsula.

No, but the 4 I have done [out of my 40 RS programs] have been some of my favorites. Just because of the field trips and lectures provided, along with the locations - of course.

Oosterdam near Grand Island.

Since AIS is 12 minutes behind, I'm guessing Oostie is well within the channel.

Over halfway to Thane now.

Some interesting ships in port today incl. the USCGC Henry Blake (WLM-563), a United States Coast Guard Keeper-class cutter/coastal buoy tender, visiting from Naval Station Everett, Washington

Normal route/maintenance routine? Or specialized because of some event?

My Marine Traffic updated but is now eight minutes behind again.

Mine is down to 2 mins, just past Thane.

Annual Buoy Tender Roundup from August 14-18, incl. eight U.S. Coast Guard and Canadian buoy tenders, stationed throughout Alaska and the Pacific Northwest for five days of training and maintenance. Participating are the U.S. Coast Guard Cutters SPAR, Hickory, Fir, Sycamore, Elderberry, Anthony Petit, Henry Blake and the Canadian coast guard ship Bartlett. AIS shows six other cutters at the Juneau coast guard station. If the cam was panning, we could see them
