Nieuw Amsterdam Port Everglades/Eurodam Key West/Zuiderdam Aruba Sail-Aways Mar 3

Don't think I am going to wait for Freedom. Thanks Peter and the rest of the sail away bunch for an enjoyable sail away. Good Night.

I have to stay and count lifeboats....

I have to stay and count lifeboats....

I counted 9 on the port side of Harmony of the Seas, if that helps any.

Smooth Sailing ! :) :) :)

I just checked and I believe there are 15 per side on Freedom of the Seas.

Looks like more on Freedom...:)

Freedom OTS still sitting there, surrounded by little boats.

Now she's moving, almost missed the parade.

Now that Eurodam is completely gone - see all you addicts tomorrow.

Check's still in the mail but the ponies and stagecoach got held up the border; Something about a wall

See ya Geraldine!

Thanks, Peter. Are you having really bad weather? My DH is in England, near London, and says it is just terrible there. Icy and treacherous. On our news here they showed a webcam clip of an eagle in Northern Virginia hunkering down in his nest. It's not Spring yet!

I did not make it to the sail-away today. The weather in the New York City did not seem all that bad, just a wet wintry mix with some wind gusts. We drove around Long Island today and saw many trees down: snapped or uprooted. Lost of utility trucks were out working on power lines.

do you know how to do sos?
