MS Westerdam Sail-Away October 14, 2015

[Shellback801]

So I bring up the PE webcam for the first time in months and there's my Westerdam. And my Captain. Wow.

For you folks who have never done this. A quick tutorial. First of all welcome aboard.

 

There are two cameras one is located in the condo complex and that is the cam that gets close in shots as the ship passes and heads out to the Atlantic. The other cam is located atop the Hyatt Hotel Pier Sixty-Six. This cam gives more panoramic shots of the entire port and is what many will initially watch as the ship leaves the wharf. Web cam selection is in the upper left corner "Watch another Web Cam"

 

It is good to have both cams open so you can switch back and forth. Do have the volume turned off on one or you will probably get echo feed back.

 

It is important to refresh the cams now and than or eventually they will stop and freeze up.

So if your new or rusty I suggest you practice a little.

 

It helps if you pay attention to previous post so there is less duplication of post. We are here to enjoy watching and sharing one of our favorite past times. Cruising.

 

Please be respectful toward each other and most of all let's have fun.

 

Westerdam has notified Harbor Master that they are now requesting a 4:30 departure. Lots of new stores to load and maybe the ship is going through some inspections.

 

Moving up one last time.
