Thanks for the link - these are nice.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thanks for the links -- appreciate them.

 

We have been to Icy Straight Point a few times -- before the new dock was built.  Enjoyed each visit there -- especially the whale watching excursions.

Azamara Quest coming into Juneau. Noordam past Grand Island.

Interesting how experiences differ.  I was there with my brother on Radiance of the Seas 5 years ago.  He did a whale watch cruise but I did a walking tour of the old factory.  We saw more whales on the tender ride than they did on the excursion.

AIS has now been stuck for 22 minutes.  I expect Noordam is actually now in the Gastineau.

Approaching Thane.

 

[rafinmd]

Based on the Quest it looks like we have no WP again.

Time to start lunch.  I'm taking my IPAD into the kitchen but won't be posting for a bit.

Noordam entering harbor area- going behind Quest.

 

[Happily@Sea]

you were right - no WP - so even though we can see the whole docking - this will be a short sail-in for me. No chatter on radio - either.

 

Extra early for Westie tomorrow - she has been showing up a before 05:30 AST on Thursdays.

 

There's the radio - had to make me a liar. lol

Saying "no chatter" is a sure way to start it.  A very short sail-in.  Do we know if Amsterdam is this week or next?

 

See all tomorrow.

The 2 times we did the whale watching excursions, we were there in June and saw tons of whales.

 

Another time we went into Hoonah.  Can't remember what the price of the bus was to get there.

 

We have enjoyed walking around the factory and eating crab.

[Krazy Kruizers]

That's it for me today.

 

See you all tomorrow for the Westerdam.

Checking VMAX1700 -- Amsterdam is scheduled for an Olivia charter from July 1 - July 8.

 

So Roy is right.
