Volendam will be "the only show" in town today as there are no other cruise ships scheduled to make an appearance

There are roughly four weeks left in the 2016 Juneau, AK season at which time the big boys will be heading south, waaay south

If now is an indication - it will not be a nice day. Maybe it will be nicer closer to sail-in time.

Thanks for the head's-up on Alaska's season, I usually pay more attention to the Atlantic crossings because those are usually first to show on the east coast cameras. This summer has really been unusual with being able to see Juneau for most of the season and me not having withdrawal from no sail-ins or sailaways [even though most are in the middle of the night.] The bonus - that sometimes we also have a camera operator who will get us some really close shots - is wonderful.

Early morning getting darker and darker in Juneau and more rain today.

I'm arriving on that cruise. :D

I was on the Prinsendam when she left FLL last May as she did the last HAL sailaway for the season. So I'm last and first for FLL in 2016. :D :) :D

Cool; see ya onboard

I guess I'll have to try to be on my best behavior. :eek: :D

That cruise isn't that far away.

Marine map shows her just below the last channel but it is 30 minutes behind, so I'm guessing she should be coming into sight very shortly.

Visible just past the tall pole.

And a camera person with a ZOOM! :)

Very strange seeing only one ship in Juneau.

There she is! So pretty.:)

I won't be staying around. Got to pack up a few boxes and head over to the new place...

61 and that breeze, must be pretty cool out - I would say cold - but what do I know?

Great zoom today but too much static.

There goes that theory that the static is more persistent when it's raining. It hasn't rained here today since the wee hours of the morning.

Now that they are finished, I believe I'll be leaving shortly - see you all Monday for our double arrival.

I thought it had something to do with the rain, also. Although Since I posted that the static went away.:D:confused::D

Not such a bad day in Juneau with only one ship, a dam ship, in! Missed the arrival; had to go to downtown L.A.

It has to do with the "Squelch" setting on the VHF receiver. IMHO it should be set higher.

I really would like to hear the local transmissions.

Abandon ship drill with boats in the water happening as we speak with Volie

One kaput "painter line" on one of the boats. Someone's got some 'splaining to do with the staff captain upon the completion of the drill:eek:

Webcam person must have been bored with only one ship in port. I have never seen a zoom in this location before.

We will be on Volendam's last sail of the season into Juneau on October 1 before departing on her repositioning cruise to Asia. Can't wait - it's been nearly 4 years since we were last on Volie.

OMG! I think the sun is out!!!

A good close up view of the Volendam.
