Happily@Sea

I just got an ad ahead of live stream starting - oh well!. Guess they are here to stay. We are also panning along with raindrop, weather looks like yesterday.

In Gastineau Channel - moving 15.3 knots.

Website says 37F and light rain in Juneau,

Noordam well past Tracy Arm and still 2/3 of distance from Grand Island - probably close to 2 hours yet.

On marine tracker - Noordam 10 1/2 hours old/stale. Will check back later.

Noordam tomorrow - about this same timeframe. Even though the weather has cleared some. I will not hang around. Thanks to my fellow addicts, thanks to our cameraperson for following so well. Thanks, Leanne for the thread.

Discovery Pr in background.

The ships sure go sideways smoothly.

Thankfully it mostly clears the raindrops spoiling the view.

Kdam coming from behind Eurodam. Eurodam appears to be 'parked'.

Kdam in sight.

So about this same time next year. I hope you have better weather for your visit.

A really nice zoom!

She appears to be behind shipping container. Just appearing in front of it.

A zoom.

Eurodam should be coming into view about now.

First rainy day in Juneau - this season. At least the camera isn't panning.

Eurodam approaching Thane - shouldn't be long now. And she has the closest pier to the entrance.

Eurodam just inside Gastineau Channel. Kdam still maintaining distance.

Eurodam passing Grand Island. K'dam is a decent distance behind her.

The Juneau Harbor webcam listed in first post. Just below the live screen is a link to marinetraffic.com. There is a refresh icon in the upper right corner and scrolling moves the map in and out.

Both ships are outside of Tracy Arm, Eurodam slightly in the lead. Both moving at just about the same speed.

This is the 'usual' for Viking. They built their reputation on river cruises and this is a normal perk of all river cruises - no matter the line. River cruises also park right downtown - at least in Europe. They have had years of training doing this - but is it really a bargain for ocean sailing ships or just an extra reason to raise their prices?? Only the cruiser choosing a cruise can answer.

And she is gone. Kdam and Eurodam on Monday.

2/3 behind Quantum already and we lost our zoom. 😞
