Wonder where everyone is? Not too many wavers!!

 

There's 2 waves scheduled.. Joanie posted them earlier.

[dobiemom]

Main port web cam is showing life boat being raised.

Thanks. I keep forgetting to switch.

I am watching my first sail-away....but where are all the people?? I would be out there with bells on....you know what I mean.

[dobiemom]

Is it me or is she moving very fast?

[monina01]

nice toots!

[dobiemom]

Three toots! :D

 

Saw the "Darcy Ritter" banner.

[rafinmd]

Love that horn. Thanks, Captain Tim.

[monina01]

ok, that's it for me.....good night and I guess the next one is tomorrow?

[momatibm]

You can count the number of people on deck for sailaway.

[lka1012]

That's it for me too. See everyone tomorrow and/or this weekend.

 

Thanks Dave and Lou and Cheif

[0bnxshs]

Beautiful sounding, deep horn!

 

That's it for me... thanks Lou and Dave, Chief for the reminder... sorry we were so rowdy! We'll be there with bells on 17 May!!

[aliaschief]

Wow! What a exciting and so active Sail-Away. Thanks Dave and Lou for the great coverage and thank all of you CC members for making this really a Special Sail-Away.

 

See you tomorrow.:)

[dobiemom]

I sure did miss these.

 

Thanks for the reminder, Chief. And thanks Dave and Lou for feeding our addiction. ;) :D

 

See y'all at the next sailaway!

 

[kazu]

She always does three elegant toots - usually at every port:D

 

Except when we did our sail around the island in the Canaries = then she tooted more - people were cheering on shore everywhere - what an incredible experience:D

I'll be watching for those bells, flags, banners, jackets or anything else you care to wave:p:D

[Vict0riann]

Lots of fun! Thanks.

[IRL_Joanie]

Took a couple snap shots of her as she loaded the Life Boat back on board:)

 

 

And that was strange that not many passengers were out for sail away...

 

She just glides so smoothly and so quickly as she left us today.

That was good camera work, watching the lifeboat being loaded.

[jgw321]

Thanks all. Its 10:00pm here, just time to catch up on this evenings tele which we had to leave to the recorder.

[erewhon]

aliaschief, Thanks for starting this sail away thread.

Thank you Lou and Dave.

[kazu]

I'll be watching for those bells, flags, banners, jackets or anything else you care to wave:p:D

 

I think it may be flags - we haven't finished the sail a way stuff - too busy doing tours:D but if it goes as planned - there will be Canadian, U.S. and Kiwi.

 

Gotta like it

 

Thanks chief for starting this fabulous thread.

 

And thanks Lou and Dave for your wonderful, wonderful webcam.

 

Really wonderful how you do it.

 

We'll have to wave to you next time on the Elegant Explorer;)

[rafinmd]

You bet I'll be here. Unfortunately, this will likely be my last Elegant Explorer sailaway until my own, as I'll be traveling for the next one. Sorry, Kazu, but I hope your departure will be a bit delayed.

 

Roy

 

You mean our May 17th departure Roy? I wouldn't bet on it being delayed - we're the only cruise ship scheduled to be in port - should be some nice webcam shots by Lou and Dave:D:D

 

Nice to see two roll call members signing in already too!

 

This may be a bit complicated. I know some of you have sailed with Mark Farris. On each Crystal cruise he does a cabaret in the main show lounge and one of the features is a tribute to his dad. Gene Farris was his role model and is lounge pianist at a restaurant in Peoria. He does a duet with mark singing live and his father on video. I'm booked on a cruise on the Grande Caribe (the ship I was on when I visited Inlady1) and it worked for me to go through Peoria on my way. I'm booked on a bus connection that gets into Peoria at 4:35 May 17 (5:35 Eastern time). I will definitely check the webcam when I get to Peoria, but expect it will be too late. I wouldn't miss that evening for the world, not even a sailaway of the Elegant Explorer. I sure hope Lou and Dave put it into their gallery.

 

By the way, Thanks Lou and Dave for the great views, and thanks Chief for the thread.

He is fabulous, as I've often said. So many on our recent Ryndam cruise were on the maasam two years ago...when we all hung out at the piano bar each night. Even the same bartender from the Maasdam was on the Ryndam (Nick).

[Typhoon1]

Farewell to all cruisers.
