KingdomCAPT Posted October 14, 2012 #726 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Wow, I would love to see a picture of it. I'll make a note to myself to go to Youtube and look and see if there's a video. I myself have never been able to see the Green Flash, but was told that the sky must be absolutely clear - no? It certainly looked like Trainman's sunset pictures showed high cirrus, but still they saw the Green Flash? Somebody set me straight, please!:confused: Cirrus is not an impediment, unless right at the horizon where the sun dips. Best conditions are very calm, flat seas. The flash is the last bit of light, off the top limb (edge) of the sun as it desends under the horizon. Looks like a little green "pop". I've seen dozen's of them from the bridge of a destroyer. Just keep watching. You'll catch one eventually. I never tire of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonTexasNY Posted October 15, 2012 #733 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hopefully, the only reason we haven't gotten our Trainman fix today is internet issues. As always, wonderful pictures and commentary. Looking forward to more......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akcruz Posted October 15, 2012 #739 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I just think something in the cosmos out there is telling Trainman to sit back and enjoy his wonderful cruise and not worry about all of us here :(. Trainman, hope you and Judith are having a wonderful time. We miss you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reney313 Posted October 15, 2012 #745 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I just read the latest update. It seems this is right in the path of where the ship should be now? Or would they still be quite a bit south of the baja? MIAMI (AP) — Hurricane Paul is strengthening in the Pacific off Mexico and a tropical storm watch has been issued for a portion of Baja California. The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Paul’s maximum sustained winds were 80 mph (130 kph) early Monday. Some additional strengthening is forecast during the day before weakening is expected Tuesday. It’s centered about 530 miles (850 kilometers) southwest of the tip of the Baja California peninsula and moving north at 9 mph (15 kph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted October 15, 2012 #746 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Is it turn around day yet? I see we hit 100,000 views today. I think Trainman's self imposed goal was 500,000 for the entire cruise. He better get hopping and come up with some controversial photos.

Sunny AZ Girl Posted October 15, 2012 #748 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Is it turn around day yet? No - they are still cruising. I am not sure where they are at this time, but they have a ways to go. Hopefully, not through or near a hurricane!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akcruz Posted October 15, 2012 #749 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Here is our itinerary... No - they are still cruising. I am not sure where they are at this time, but they have a ways to go. Hopefully, not through or near a hurricane!:eek: Here is their schedule from the beginning of the thread. Looks like they are at sea today but still south of Baja.

Rare BillOh Posted October 15, 2012 #750 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I watched the live space jump on Discovery...not sure how we will make it through it today!!! *** If your old enough, like me, to remember the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs, did it also cross your mind how great it would have been had we had the optical and communication power to watch those events in the same quality we got to watch this event? (I was alive during Mercury, but don't actually remember those launches) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
