Rare Scrapnana Posted May 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) For the first day of the new season, Juneau will be welcoming two dam ships. Both Nieuw Amsterdam and Eurodam are due in at 1300/1 pm local time (remember that the ships will likely appear on the webcam before then) and will sail at 2200/10 pm. They are the only ships in port. Nieuw Amsterdam is scheduled to dock at the Cruise Ship Terminal (CT) and Eurodam at the Alaska Steam Ship Dock (AS). These are the two closest to the webcam. Unfortunately, this is not supposed to be the nicest day in Juneau. The weather forecast calls for a high of 47F/8C and a low of 38F/3C with a 90% chance of rain. Sunrise is 5:03am, sunset is 8:45pm. The Juneau webcam can be found at http://www.juneauharborwebcam.com/ For those unfamiliar with the docks in Juneau, here is a map.

Krazy Kruizers Posted May 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thank you for the information. Don't know if I will be here when they arrive in Juneau. Definitely won't be here when they leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted May 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thank you for the information.Don't know if I will be here when they arrive in Juneau. Definitely won't be here when they leave. Unless they are scheduled to leave before 8 pm Alaska time, I never see the sailaways either. Sail-ins are the principal viewing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vict0riann Posted May 1, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks, Scrapnana. I'm not sure if I will be here, but I will try! PS There was a 6.3 earthquake near the border of the US and Canada this morning. I don't know if it would have been felt in Juneau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted May 1, 2017 #11 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks, Scrapnana. I'm not sure if I will be here, but I will try! PS There was a 6.3 earthquake near the border of the US and Canada this morning. I don't know if it would have been felt in Juneau. USGS site says 3 big ones near Skagway: 6.3 and 6.2, and 5.2 - plus a bunch in 4.5 and lower range all on May 1st. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted May 1, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Looks like a miserable day in Juneau - just like here! There is something moving around, though, might be birds on the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted May 1, 2017 #13 Share Posted May 1, 2017 The marine map hasn't been updated for 26 minutes, they were moving at almost 20k on last report. They are not that far away - who knows when they will arrive or speed they are cruising at now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted May 1, 2017 #14 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Still going at almost the same speed, cruising in tandem. Eurodam out in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ski ww Posted May 1, 2017 #15 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Just looked and they are doing 19.1 & 18K. Weather is just like here it has been raining non stop for the last three days temp is about the same. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted May 1, 2017 Author #16 Share Posted May 1, 2017 They are not yet to the Gastineau Channel. Will check back later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted May 1, 2017 #17 Share Posted May 1, 2017 They are not yet to the Gastineau Channel. Will check back later. Marine.com is only updating in spits and spurts - we're back to a 20 minute-plus delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobandjo Posted May 1, 2017 #18 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Marine.com is only updating in spits and spurts - we're back to a 20 minute-plus delay. I think you mean marinetraffic.com. Marine.com is boating equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted May 1, 2017 #19 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I think you mean marinetraffic.com. Marine.com is boating equipment. You are right of course, since I don't have to type it in to access it, the traffic part had slipped my frame of reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted May 1, 2017 #20 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Guess what, Kathi? - raindrops on the lens. Just like old times. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted May 1, 2017 #21 Share Posted May 1, 2017 We now have zoomed into the channel/harbor area. You'd think the webcam was in black and white mode. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted May 1, 2017 Author #22 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Guess what, Kathi? - raindrops on the lens. Just like old times. :D And there have been so many beautiful days during the winter. I guess the raindrops are a sure sign it is cruise season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobandjo Posted May 1, 2017 #23 Share Posted May 1, 2017 You are right of course, since I don't have to type it in to access it, the traffic part had slipped my frame of reference. I didn't know there was such an animal as a map showing all the ships everywhere in the world so when I went to marine.com and saw boating equipment I said "what the heck?" lol and then did a search and up the marine map came.

Rare Scrapnana Posted May 1, 2017 Author #24 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Eurodam approaching the Gastineau Channel. What do you think - another 30-45 minutes before she appears on the webcam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted May 1, 2017 #25 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Eurodam approaching the Gastineau Channel. What do you think - another 30-45 minutes before she appears on the webcam? They are still moving swiftly, so you are probably close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
