Veendam and Zuiderdam Port Everglades Sail-Aways February 28, 2018

[Krazy Kruizers]

Yesterday was glorious. We don't need rain either, but it doesn't seem to want to let up.

 

 

We don't need any more rain either. Many roads are till closed due to flooding and mud slides. We all were glued to the TV on Sunday watching a house go over a hill -- people lost everything -- 2 major roads closed because of that one.

Broke 2 records for February -- most rain since the 1800's and the coldest low since the 1800's.

[St Pete Cruiser]

Come on Zuiderdam!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Zuiderdam making the turn towards the channel.

Oh, my goodness. I can't imagine the people who lived in that house. The people across the street from me get the scare first when the creek rises up to their back doors.

[Krazy Kruizers]

The sun is shining nicely on the Zuiderdam.

[dfish]

Zuiderdam was my first cruise ship. She hooked me!

[Happily@Sea]

Watching her make that turn - it always looks smoother on camera than actually doing it on the ship. :D

They had just made the last payment on the house. Go=me-funds have been set up by PNC.

No water can reach us -- if it does -- we will need an arc to get out of here -- We are very high up and at times can see the tall buildings of Pittsburgh -- 20 miles northwest of us.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Wishing all the Zuiderdam passengers a great cruise.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Zoomed on some people with a sign.

[Happily@Sea]

Her normal long toots.

[ski ww]

The last payment makes it even more painful.

[Krazy Kruizers]

3 long toots -- but she is nearly out to sea.

[Happily@Sea]

Zoomed on some people with a sign.

 

 

Sign did have PTZ-tv on it - requested a wave for sure.

[dfish]

Happy cruising to all the Zuiderdam passengers.

[Krazy Kruizers]

The last payment makes it even more painful.

 

 

Yes it does.

[St Pete Cruiser]

I heard 2 extra long toots. They were late....I think the Captain was busy.

[Krazy Kruizers]

That is it for me today.

Can't stay for the Veendam -- that will be my cooking time.

[Krazy Kruizers]

See you on Saturday for sail away for Nieuw Amsterdam.

[Happily@Sea]

See you on Saturday for sail away for Nieuw Amsterdam.

 

 

Have a nice evening and dinner, see you Saturday.

[St Pete Cruiser]

Veendam adding a little coal to the furnance. Ready to depart?

[Happily@Sea]

Dropping last lines on Veendam.

[St Pete Cruiser]

Dropping lines. Anybody still watching?

[Happily@Sea]

Veendam moving.
