Very overcast this morning but at least not raining (for right now). Princess arriving now.

 

Will be here for sail-in.

Just a bit too much zoom!

 

I did get a couple of screen shots of Star Princess' arrival, but I was a bit late - or she was early... Now she's hiding behind Radiance of the Seas. Oh, well. DD will be able to forward a few pix to her friends. Looks like there will be quite a crowd in town today. Hope they have good weather.

The Netherlands ladies did well this morning in quarterfinal volleyball, hopefully the USA match will go as fast or even quicker - so I don't have to try and watch volleyball and the sail-in at the same time. :grumble:

 

I will be here anyway - no matter what.

My little country's got seven gold medals, twelve total with more to come :). Still hoping for a NED-USA final in women's volleyball

 

Better day than yesterday in Juneau

Got the Amsterdam days mixed up yesterday. Still looking at improving weather later this week except that in the transition it could be very windy for a couple days.

I'll be here for sail in. Looks like another over cast day, at least not raining. Lots of ships in port today.

Amsterdam close to Marmion Island - maybe another 25-30 minutes?

 

We are watching for SJSULIBRARIAN who should have on a red jacket with a blue cap. Doesn't look like she will need her umbrella.

I know! It is really easy to jinx the weather in Juneau!:rolleyes:

Here comes Amsterdam!

Webcam person, where are you???

[Happily@Sea]

And a ZOOM!

[Scrapnana]

Finally, a zoom!

Even with a moderate close-up, it's hard to see through the raindrops.

I do believe it is getting lighter out.

[ger_77]

I feel like reaching out with a squeegee and wiping off the camera's lens. :p

 

Smooth Sailing ! :) :) :)

[Scrapnana]

I don't see anybody on the bow. Maybe it's closed due to the weather?

 

As soon as I posted that, i saw two people out there.

All tied up and the planes are revving up so I'll see you tomorrow for the Zaandam.

[Copper10-8]

Not a bad PM in Juneau at all. AMDM is conducting a late Abandon Ship drill with boats in the water

[Scrapnana]

She's off.
