Adoremus Posted July 5, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Just boarded Maasdam today and pushed out to harbor and engines failed. Some toilets not working either. Good thing is get to see Fourth of July fireworks in Boston Harbor. [emoji573]. Hopefully be underway soon! 9:28 PM AND ANCHORED in Boston harbor.

sail7seas Posted July 5, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Sorry to hear Maasdam is having mechanical issues but you'll (hopefully) get to enjoy one of the best fireworks displays. I'm listening to the Pops Concert on the Esplanade and it's wonderful. Hopefully you'll be underway after you see the fireworks. It's a short ride to Bar Harbor. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vict0riann Posted July 5, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 5, 2015 On the Maasdam on the Atlantic Adventurer in 2014, our engines stopped as we were approaching the Canaries. Everything became very quiet, until the Captain came on and said "It's alright, we're in deep water!" We didn't know whether to laugh or worry! Everything started up again about half an hour later.

Lisa63 Posted July 5, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Wow. I saw her anchored earlier and figured she was there for the fireworks, as other ships had done in the past. I hope you get moving soon. Please keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoremus Posted July 5, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I think they are very concerned. We are anchored in the port. Last communication was from the captain about 3 hours ago. 10 PM now. Gonna have hard time getting to Bar Harbour now. Lots of fireworks though. And no Code red. Just normal 48 hour hand you your food Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coka Posted July 5, 2015 #14 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Oh my goodness! We just left her this morning and everything was smooth! You are in good hands with the officers, staff, and crew. Best wishes and I hope all goes as well as our week. Coka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted July 5, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 5, 2015 The fireworks just started and they're beautiful. Great display. Hope Maasdam is underway soon. I can't imagine Coast Guard is going to let them sit inn the harbor, not tied up, for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa63 Posted July 5, 2015 #17 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I see you have power. She looks so pretty all lit up in the Harbor. Keeping you all in my thoughts -- I hope you get good news soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa63 Posted July 5, 2015 #18 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I'm watching one of the live ship traffic channels -- one of the tugboats that escorted you out is now on its way back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
