They kept Ruby (my dog) overnight for tests and observation. I am supposed to call Friday around 2 pm. So I do not know if I will make it or not.

I missed the Maasdam sail-away today but hope to be here for the Zuiderdam. I need to get my fix in because I can't participate on Saturday.

[PathfinderEss]

Thanks for the reminder Boytjie, should be around for the Zuiderdam.

Coastal Broward and Coastal Miami Dade are under tornado watch until 5 pm. I can't believe that they have the tiny boat sailing school out in this.

[Alcarondas]

I'm onboard and unpacked; Mariner lunch was yummy as usual. Lifeboat drill coming up at 3pm. Warm, cloudy, muggy with intermittent rain, sometimes heavy. Hoping for some clearing for sailaway.

Have you been doing your rain dance again?;)

[POA1]

Have you been doing your rain dance again?;)

No. It's an El Nino year, which means lots of rain for us.

Oh dear Kathy - I hope all goes well.

 

Thinking of you and hoping Ruby will be all right!

[PathfinderEss]

Wow, really, really dark cloud going over.

 

Rain dance.

Lifeboat drill postponed due to pouring rain.

Nice picture, Scrapnana! Are you finding it difficult to sleep because you are anticipating a cruise? I am, keep going through things in my mind. It's terrible being this way and it's still almost 3 months out!!!

 

Looks like a miserable day today in FLL. At least the channel camera must be sheltered! Hope everything works.
