Oak Hill Cruisers Posted August 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Having transferred our booking from the Rickmers Seoul to sister ship Jakarta, it's time for a new thread. Jakarta ported in Lake Charles last night. ETA Houston late this Saturday with ETS Tuesday. Will drive rental car to Houston Hobby airport this Sunday afternoon. Rickmers will pick us up at the airport and take us to the ship. Looking forward to this trip. Lots of snacks, magazines, loaded Kindles, crocheting yarn for DW, and laptops for each of us to write journals. Kick off first full day with total eclipse of the sun and then it's all downhill for the next 30 days. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oak Hill Cruisers Posted August 19, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Jakarta just left Lake Charles heading for Houston. Let's hope that the track for Tropical Storm Harvey does not veer to the north..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oak Hill Cruisers Posted September 8, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Now in the middle of the Atlantic. 1st Mate has warned us of 15-foot seas tomorrow. Told us to remove our stuff from desks & tables. Should be a wild ride, especially without stabilizers. Master is speeding towards our next port, Montoir France, so that we'll be in & out of port before planned longshoreman's strike on September 12th. Expected arrival in Antwerp on September 14th.
