Eurodam/Zuiderdam (PE) and Nieuw Amsterdam/Oosterdam (KW) Sail-Aways - Feb 25, 2017

[erewhon]

Departure toot from IOTS.

[Copper10-8]

Zuidy's S/O reports last three longshoremen (late pallet loading) off the ship and pulling the A-Deck gangway

[Scrapnana]

Good-bye toot from somebody.

[Copper10-8]

Copper, that reminded me of an old joke. They were selling French war surplus and they were advertising rifles as, "Fired once, thrown down three times," Mean, I know, but I couldn't resist.

 

Good one! The Frenchies are allright!

Zuidy's singling up

After being in France this past summer, I wonder about their thought processes. They call strikes and then they negotiate. Most strikes don't apply to weekends - because that's when they are off work. :rolleyes:

[Scrapnana]

Independence on the move and a nice zoom.

[travelnap]

Indy under way with her low deep toots.

[Vict0riann]

Good zoom!:) Thank you.

[erewhon]

3 more toots.

[Scrapnana]

Lots of tooting going on!

[lka1012]

My friend is sailing from Canaveral, I had to check which side for her to face and wave.

[Copper10-8]

We're gonna get two blue-hulled beauts in trail of each other outbound and they're already exchanging toeters

[rkacruiser]

5 for 5 and still the champ :D

 

Thank you! Wish my team and I could do as well when we play trivia aboard the ships.

 

Still no luck on finding the pins. Can't find where I stashed my last cruise of the Statendam's "stuff". I thought some might be there. Still looking, though.

[erewhon]

Eurodam underway.

[Happily@Sea]

Eurodam already moving away from pier..

Always appreciated!

The Monster dropping lines to follow Eurodam, thus Zdam last away.

[Happily@Sea]

They've already moved the camera at Key West, so unless they move it back, we won't see much.

[travelnap]

Eurodam backing up.

[ski ww]

Dropping lines on the Zuiderdam.

[Copper10-8]

Zuidy still heaving in lines/singling up so big Bertha will get in the way of the two dam ships

[Scrapnana]

And there are ugly gray clouds moving in.:eek: On the flip side, the sun has come out and it is really nice looking in Juneau.

Since they both have to back into the turning basin, I guess the 'big bully' gets the nod first. :D

[erewhon]

Lots of small boats needing rounding up today.

[Scrapnana]

Three late, gravelly toots.
