Horn battle with a tug!!!!

Maybe it's a mirage but I think I see the Veendam above the bow of the stationary cargo ship.

Past the statue, 200 or so yards to the V bridge.

 

Have a great week everyone!

I was wondering the same thing.

She looks good.

[sppunk]

I'm on the bow port side at the front, don't know where the camera is to wave. Sorry!

[PathfinderEss]

Have a great cruise on the Veendam. Thanks Lou and David for making these sail-aways possible.

sppunk,The camera is located on the starboard side, when sailing from New York.

 

The ship is now out of camera range.

[erewhon]

Bon Voyage Veendam.

[rafinmd]

Bon voyage sppunk and Veendam. Thank you Lou and Dave for another awesome sailaway. Unfortunately (well not really), this will be my last Veendam webcam sailaway. After church next Sunday the Airport Shuttle is taking me to BWI where I'll board a train to New York. I am scheduled to arrive Penn Station at 4:35 and plan to start walking down 29th Street with a hope of catching a live glimpse on her final sailaway to Bermuda.

Sorry to hear that the Veendam had problems with boarding..

Haven't been on here -- I would like to be on all day and follow everything -- but we do have another life.

OP -- have a great cruise.

Sorry to have missed the Veendam sail away.

Boarding in any departure city can sometimes be delayed by some technical glitch.

 

However, HAL is well prepared to handle glitches, and does its best to depart on time.

Just off the Veendam as you were getting on! There were fire drills and alot of anticipation from the crew to be able to answer questions posed to them by I think the Coast Guard? One crew member stated that they weren't allowed to get anything wrong, when asked.

 

I'll ask DH if he remembers anymore details.

 

Sounds like delay was due to a faux pax on someone's part?

Greetings from Hamikton!

 

Via our captain (Marcos I can't spell his last name!) the delay was due to the main galkey's main water line breaking and flooding it completely.

 

I'll post more later but must say Verbdam looks terrific from the outside. The bolsum (sp?) is employee of the month and the captain congratulated him for his work. To quote the captain, "Veendam hasn't looked this good in many, many years."

 

They are inspecting carpet for replacement today in stairwells too.
