gambee Posted May 15, 2013 #276 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I could not be more excited! In one week that will be me docking! Thank you all that posted updates here, it was very much appreciated :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeski27 Posted May 15, 2013 #277 Share Posted May 15, 2013 She's docked at the pier. Everyone that was worried about tendering can breathe a sigh of relief. We even cleared out the ugly weather (1.27 inches of rain fell here yesterday), just for you ;); It's a friggin Bermudian miracle! :D Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Johnny Posted May 15, 2013 #278 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Excellent news. Great watching it live. Can't wait for our sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gram Cape Cod Posted May 15, 2013 #279 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I've read that they might go back to doing more work on the pier after the Breakaway leaves and more trips will have to tender. Any truth to that rumor??? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durberville Posted May 15, 2013 #280 Share Posted May 15, 2013 So exciting! ..and is that the Summit docked starboard side?..Haha! I booked a starboard cabin this year because last time we docked port side and I wanted a different view! Oh well!! I guess they change it up! Man o' man that Breakaway is a huge ship!

Any truth to that rumor??? :confused: I've been told no more tendering and they'll have to work on the dock after the Breakaway leaves on friday and before the Dawn arrives.

Any truth to that rumor??? :confused: Have not heard that, where did you hear it? They will work on any days that the Breakaway and Dawn are not at HW. Pass that on.

KJE Atlanta Posted May 16, 2013 #286 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Was so thrilled to wake up this morning and turn on the port webcam and see the Breakaway pulling in. Islegroove, you were right! The Breakaway docked at Heritage Wharf today. You were a steady voice of calm throughout. Thank you! We'll be there two weeks from today on the Breakaway and I'm so happy that we'll be docked instead of tendering! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdarch Posted May 16, 2013 #287 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I read the same thing when the Breakaway leaves they will continue the work. Last I read, the Gov't has said the project includes finish work on the breasting dolphins (which Breakaway is moored against now) and also improving the mooring dolphins which extend out on either side. As I understand the project, with the Breakaway successfully moored now, incoming ships should not have to tender (unless something goes VERY wrong). Either way, unless it's in the current news releases, let's not make ourselves crazy! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomct Posted May 16, 2013 #288 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Just came across your informational site, and thought I'd ask you a couple of questions: 1. You may have viewed the video a local news reporter posted on the Bermuda Web Cam site, and I understood that two of the people interviewed mentioned they were going to the court house. Have you heard of anyone doing that, and is that mainly to check out the staff dressed in wigs and robes? Are there other "attractions" or points of interest? 2. For curiosity sake, how often have you been to Bermuda, and what kinds of things are on your agenda this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been around enough to know enough people in various places, so even if it isn't out there publicly (like it will dock at Heritage Wharf, or about the opening of the mini golf course - AND like the Dawn will not have to tender), I've gotten it from someone I know and trust, who knows what the truth is.

islegroove Posted May 17, 2013 #290 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Heritage Wharf won't be finished until September, but the Dawn will be allowed to dock. http://www.bermudasun.bm/Content/Default/Homepage-Article-Rotator/Article/Four-more-months-of-repair-work-for-wharf/-3/1288/66561 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islegroove Posted May 17, 2013 #292 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I was watching the video as the Breakaway was docking and saw the workman had covered the top of the rebar for one dolphin with some sort of sheet metal so they could walk across it to tie down the lines.

Hi Tomct, first time to Bermuda for me and it's been kind of last minute so I haven't done my usual research. I'll let you know if I find anything good to share. I do have a tour booked with Bermuda Footsteps and I'll let you know how that is. I'm off this Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
