ms Westerdam & ms Nieuw Amsterdam in Juneau, AK - 30 MAY 2016

[Scrapnana]

The weather really improved over the course of the day. Did not get much warmer but at least the rain stopped and the visibility improved. Those who went up the Mt. Roberts Tramway must have had some great views.

That 'Solstice'-class group of ships sure have nice lines! The Germans and the Greeks did some really nice work there :)

[Scrapnana]

Solstice - last to arrive, first to leave

[Copper10-8]

Anchor coming up on Solstice

[Copper10-8]

Kentucky Derby about to start ;)

[Scrapnana]

NA ready to go.

[Copper10-8]

NADM's pilot announcing her imminent departure from AJ dock, following Solstice southbound Gastineau Channel

[Vict0riann]

It's still quite light - it's dark here, but it's 10:50 instead of 9:50!

[Copper10-8]

NA ready to go.

 

Still gonna be a bit; she's waiting for Solstice and one of Solstice's tenders just went by and has to hauled up

[Scrapnana]

I thought it was kind of strange when Solstice said she was ready to go and there was one of her tenders still on the way to the ship.:confused:

Yes, plus she's still heaving up her anchor! If NADM's captain would have known all that, he would have headed out first from AJ

 

Sounds like Westie is now getting ready to go - Just heard a "green indication" confirming her gangway break is closed and secured

[Vict0riann]

What is that swimming across the harbour?

[Scrapnana]

Is it a little boat?

Nessie?

[Vict0riann]

Must be a boat - maybe a kayak or something like that.:)

 

Maybe Solstice forgot she was missing a tender.....

[Scrapnana]

Nessie?

 

Good one!:D

You called it! Can't paddle with one hand because she's got a beer in the other

[Copper10-8]

Sounds like Solstice #1, NADM #2, Crown Princess #3 and Westie #4

[Scrapnana]

So it sounds like Westerdam will be last out.

[Vict0riann]

I wonder if all the passengers on NA and Westie are asleep. That's where I will be very soon, gotta go! Good night, and thanks, Copper again for the reminder. Power to the addicts!!
