1630 pilot so that makes sense

[aliaschief]

It's kinda hard to explain Chief; the area to the rear of that parking structure is where the north-side vehicle check point to enter Port Everglades is. Those flashing lights could possible be connected with that. It it was something noteworthy, i.e. an emergency situation or accident which occurred tragically last week, the media would be all over it

 

I did some Google Searches to see if I could find anything this morning. Nada. I did see that they do have some emergency disaster exercises in the port now and than.

busy at the BBQ but here is a link to today Parade line up. If they all go at the same time it would be one hell of a drag race.

G'Day!:)

 

G'Day chief, on this wet Monday morning,...... wonderful to have rain, which the whole country needs.

I'm here, just in time it seems - and I'm balancing my lunch with the computer, cottage cheese salad. (You can tell we're getting ready to cruise!) Hope I don't spill. Happy St. Paddy's Day, all. Everything is green here, we've had enormous amounts of rain. That's why they call us the We t Coast!

Checking in for awhile....Hopefully to see the beautiful HAL ships depart.

Beautiful sunny (but windy) day in Vancouver.

I think I'll just keep to my tea and snorkel mask thanks just the same. Not taking any chances:p

I did pretty good with my balancing act (bowl of chili on my laptop)....hope you do too!

[Vict0riann]

So far, so good. I'll have tea and do a bit of snorkelling later! That's great panning over the port - I have a really good idea of where everything is, and can see where our gals are on the map.

Checking in - no chili or cottage cheese here - is corned beef boiled dinner - and the dinner will have to wait until after the ships sail!!

corned beef is good! though I gotta say: my chili is to die for (secret ingredient: ketjap manis).

Welcome all, It's close to Parade time. Here is the link for those just joining.

Top of the afternoon to everyone!

This is going to be interesting. I think I counted 6 cruise ships with the departure time of 1630 hours. Bumper boats. ;)

[496and706]

I'm back!

Howdy all.... here for the duration! :)

[erewhon]
