Krazy Kruizers Posted May 12, 2015 Author #51 Share Posted May 12, 2015 There will be aboard a small group of us who sailed together on the Volendam's 2012 Auckland-Sydney-Vancouver repositioning. We are hoping for some special events during the cruise since this voyage will mark the end of Statendam's HAL career. I hope that Statendam will do something nice for all of you as a parting farewell to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted May 12, 2015 #53 Share Posted May 12, 2015 wonder why? waiting for passengers? Possibly, but as long as it and those two cherry pickers are still doing their things, she ain't going anywhere ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted May 12, 2015 #54 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Maybe they're waiting for us; how quickly do you think you can get there? Smooth Sailing ! :) :) :) ha! ha! I need a puddle hopper to get there. They would be long gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted May 12, 2015 #56 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Possibly, but as long as it and those two cherry pickers are still doing their things, she ain't going anywhere ;) Since she has just come from drydock, I wonder what the crew might be doing? Finishing a paint job? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted May 12, 2015 #57 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm back. Looks like the jetway is still in place, and she's going to be delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted May 12, 2015 #58 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Getting ready to go to our weekly family dinner so I will miss the sail-away. Everyone have a good summer (or winter for those in the southern hemisphere) and see you all back here in October (that sounds so far away).

My guess would be touching up the white paint job on her upper structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted May 12, 2015 #63 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I hope that Statendam will do something nice for all of you as a parting farewell to the ship. Thank you. We do as well. I am hoping for fireboat salutes as we sail from Seattle, Vancouver, and Honolulu, and maybe the other Hawaiian islands as well. Also, we hope for some type of memento for her final sailing.

Rare Copper10-8 Posted May 12, 2015 #72 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The gang way is away. That is a good and hopeful sign. Keep your eye on that one remaining orange cherry picker Father. The boom/basket has to be retracted and it has to be parked on the dock. The sailor will then come out and board AMDM for departure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
