Ryndam's latest odd occurance

[Tyler919]

Port of Horta Azores during the testing of life boat tenders, number 8's winch let go making the tender go to the water and is irretrievable.

 

We are leaving the tender behind and shipping it to meet the ship in Lisbon after winch repairs. Plenty of life boat space aboard and passengers are being reassigned. In next stop, Brest, a deeper winch inspection on all winches will occur. Feeling slightly snake bit but enjoying the cruise!

Wow !! :eek: Glad there was room in the other tenders for all of you.

Still at pier, 45 min late at this point. "Authorities aboard", but Captain seemed confident was only paperwork

Hope all goes smoothly for all.

I can't remember the ships name but we traveled on a cruise ship that had to leave their tender at some port because of problems with it. No big deal, they picked it up the next time they went to that port.

hoping the rest of the cruise is not as eventful

Tyler....have been wondering if you have had a bumpy ride...??

 

The Amsterdam is heading to FLL and has hit some pretty bad storms...

I remember about 4 years ago someone spotted Zuiderdam or Westerdam as it transited the Panama Canal with a tender or Life Boat on its bow. Turned out they were taking it to the Pacific side to return it after repair to the ship it came from, again cannot remember if it was Zuiderdam or Westerdam.

We had what I would call moderate seas on Saturday late night thru 6pm Sunday. Certainly noticeable, and very rough for some, but never higher than about 12 foot waves. We are just leaving dock after 1.5 hour delay. A passenger says he heard the tender was damaged in the fall, but I have no confirmation of that. We saw it being towed away just before we left.

I think it was the Westerdam. I'll see if I can find that picture.

WOW -- that is not good.

Glad you are still enjoying your cruise.

He just announced only 15 knots needed for next stop Brest so no delay. Left Horta 1.5 hours late.

I used to work with a fellow whose beliefs included all homes, cars, boats, etc had spirits in residence. It sounds like Ryndam's resident spirits may be upset ....

Thanks for reporting this information.

Have to say - the Ryndam is going out with a bang!

You amaze me, KK. Took you 11 minutes by the clock to find a 4-year old thread. Just wanted to say: wow :)

I second that sentiment! Her photos of the balcony dividers the other day are a prime example.

 

Mind like a steel trap, I say.

how odd indeed! I understand they have plenty of room on lifeboats without that one, I can understand getting the winch fixed and picking up the lifeboat later but if she is repositioning will she be back there? Would another ship bring it to her? Ugh the headache for poor Captain!
