ms Westerdam Sail-Away January 23, 2016

The wind is really bouncing the FLL webcam around!

[Boytjie]

I'll be here. If any shipe are sailing out of NY or Bayonne today that would be a real nightmare for people both debarking and embarking! NYC is under a state of emergency and only emergency vehicles are allowed on the roads. Feel sorry for those trapped in their vehicles...

 

No cruise ships in New York harbor today.

Checking in, beer in hand.

Excellent! One of the three primary emergency provisions for winter storms. Besides alcohol, the other two are candy and ice cream.

The webcam is really shaky. That tug looks like it is holding the Westie in place.

[Mumsysailor]

Someone has just sounded for muster drill.

[Love the beach]

Great song Kathy!

[Boytjie]

No, The Monkees Song, but I will have to work on the Trolley Song.

 

I was trying to figure out the tune but failed!

 

Good job. :)

[Himself]

Celebrity goes out fist.

[erewhon]

Westy close on CX heels.:)

[Scrapnana]

Connie moving out and Westie dropping all lines.

Coffee and dog food.

[K&RCurt]

There goes the Connie.

 

We will be on her in 2 weeks.

Westie on the move.:)

[St Pete Cruiser]

We were lucky three weeks ago to have such great weather for sail away and the whole cruise. Still, I wish I could have been there to go stand by like in the "Olden Days" when those who had to cancel because of trip problems getting there didn't make it, even if it does prove to be a bumpy ride tonight.

[Boytjie]

That's the spirit! Sailaway and a beer - who cares about a snowstorm.:D

 

 

Well, after shoveling and being stuck inside we tackled the storage room in the basement to get out some winter stuff but more importantly so stuff for our cruise in 2 weeks! :D

 

So a beer is deserved by now: Founders All Day IPA from Grand Rapids, Michigan. :)

 

It has been snowing all day and is still coming down in Brooklyn.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Westerdam is on the move.

[summer slope]

Westerdam away

[Boytjie]

French and doing in in style!

[Scrapnana]

Six toots from Connie.

[Vict0riann]

Looks like Westie is moving!:D I made it just in time, and as soon as she departs, I will be leaving too, so I will thank everyone now for the fun and toots!

 

PS I see we now have a theme song.:) Well done, Kathy, our "poet Lauderdale".

 

And welcome back Mumsy - did you have a good cruise?

[Himself]

Westy is away from the dock and starting to move to the channel!

[erewhon]

Tug lines let go.

Like Poet Laureate. That one, I could figure out. ;)

[Krazy Kruizers]

Sounds like the winds are really bad.
