Gee, whiz! Back from dinner and she is just leaving. Need to go back and read the two pages before this.

That's the end of a long sailaway for me. Eurodam tomorrow. Thank you Scrapnana, Lou and Dave.:)

Just got back from Coral Gables to read that a Broward Sheriffs Office patrol boat ran into the Oosterdam. Can't find a link, but DW saw it on Facebook.

nice to see/hear the folks in the park and condos stuck with it too, as did the camera person!

would love to view the parade of ships from that park sometime.

[Scrapnana]

We might still be here when you get back.

You were SO right.:D

[Happily@Sea]

I didn't 'see' any damage. :D

[dfish]

Happy cruising.

[Happily@Sea]

See you tomorrow, probably late in the parade.

edit: okay, my attempt to link the page directly didn't work, but this from a facebook page called "cruisehabit.com" (found by typing "oosterdam" in fb search):

 

For those wondering about today's delays at Port Everglades, Holland America Line Oosterdam and a Broward Sheriff's Office patrol boat collided. Two deputies were transported to the hospital. Once the reports are complete Oosterdam can leave, until then Royal Caribbean International Freedom is delayed as she is behind Oosterdam in the intracoastal (ICW).

Just heard about the accident with the Oosterdam and the patrol boat.

Sounds like it was an exciting afternoon. Sorry I missed it all. But how could they say in that article that the two ships collided, when Oosterdam was docked! At least later they said the BSO boat crashed into Oostie, but it was wrong to start out with. I would imagine that the larger ship would have had the right of way, if they were both moving, anyway.
