We should let the captain know that we're on board in case he wants to go for the record. :) :)

Reporting in for the Toot Fest! I see the Westerdam is just a tad late in sailing and the Veendam is scheduled for 1715. I can't wait the see the Veendam sail past webcam #1. Need to see how she looks and how much of a view I will have from my window in June. :)

[COLOR="Red"][SIZE="3"]Absolutely!

He's been tootin up a storm since I bestowed him with "PE Master Tooter" title. I think he is leaving the Westy around March. Wonder who our Cap will be in April 2015?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='POA1']Quick question - Where do you guys get the ship & port radio? We watch from our balcony as the ships sail out and not from the webcam. I suppose we could, but I'd feel a little silly looking at a little screen to see what's happening in front of me. ;)

The audio from the port and ships are on the webcam feed. Leave that on in the background and watch in real time...

Unfortunately, I will NOT be able to join the Tooting Cruise. A group I belong to will be celebrating our 40th anniversary during that time. I had planned to try to join you and skip the normal function held at that time (because all the cool posters would be there). But when I realized it would be an anniversary event, I knew I could not go. So I will be watching you sail.

I wonder where Crown Princess is today. She usually arrives/sails on Saturday. No one is at Pier 2 this afternoon.

Lines dropping.

Perhaps we'll have to remind him to give the next captain the heads up as to what's expected. ;)

[alibabacruisers]

Look at all that traffic....

[erewhon]

Westy is moving.

We will advise him that he has big shoes to fill when it comes to tootin!

Also, is one of the cameras mounted at Sky Harbor (2100 S Ocean Dr, FLL)? It looks that way from the angle.[/QUOTE]

The harbor radio track comes from the web site. The web site switches to live harbor noise audio right before the ships reach the condo and where they usually start tooting.

Audio is not supported on I Pads of which I'm unfortunately using today. Edited February 22, 2014 by aliaschief

Is she moving?

[erewhon]

A lot of boats to be cleared away.

Looks like they're having to work hard to keep the way clear for the Westie.

The Sheriif's boats certainly do have their hands full today.
