Greetings all addicts. Checking in...for a toot fest and great company.

The walkway is no longer attached...hopefully it will be soon for the sailaway.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Phew! Thought we'd missed her. Just got in from Holy Week service. Looking forward to the action. :)

 

 

Good late evening.

[Mumsysailor]

Good morning/evening.

 

Good late evening.

Little white truck alert!:)

[erewhon]

Still loading so will be late leaving.:(

[Mytime2014]

Little white truck alert!:)

 

 

I had just flipped back over and saw the truck - hoping it meant lines were coming down....no such luck! It will sail about the time I get my next phone call

big thunderstorm 15 minutes west of PE and heading that way...

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

Sky is not looking at all friendly on the PE cam. I hope that the Westie gets underway before a storm hits. ...if any are predicted.

:) Great minds think alike. I just posted about the sky. It is getting fierce looking.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Weather has taken a turn for the worse.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Could be choppy out at sea.

[65 Gator]

Hope they beat the storm as I wanted to see Cruz_chic on deck 7...

Just made it back from volunteer day. If the Fort Lauderdale area gets the weather we had last night and this morning it's going to be wet. We had over six inches of rain and now the cool front has us going from 70's to 30's tonight in NW Florida.

[rkacruiser]

Today is heavy loading day, coming right out of drydock.

 

I took a Behind the Scenes Tour on Carnival Miracle two days before she went into drydock. The storerooms were not totally empty, but there wasn't much in most of them.

 

Takes awhile to fill up those empty spaces. And, if the weather turns bad right now, it will only delay the process.

[erewhon]

Doors closing, so it won't be long now.:D

[rkacruiser]

The white trucks are still there and there is some smoke coming from the funnels. So, sailing time may not be too far away.

We were waiting on you to get back, Chief...

[Boytjie]

I did not think I'd be back in time!

Wanted to witness this sail-away and see if they tuned Her horns. She did work those horns hard this year.

[gatorbill62]

Must be loading ingredients for the famous alaska pea soup

[shrimp56]

Wow. Those skies look ugly.

Maybe, just maybe....they gave her more and bigger horns! :D

[rkacruiser]

She is really smokiing!

[erewhon]

A lot of echoing chatter today!
