Ha ha!  While we were on Koningsdam last week this article appeared in the local paper about Capt Noel O'Driscoll.  I thought you ( @Himself).  I hope the link works ok.

Checking in.  Looks like I didn't miss much, at least as far as toots go.  Will hope for Zuiderdam to show us how it is done.

it really does look like helis and a blimp on the Fr Lauderdale camera!  Anyone else seeing it, or do I need to go for eye test?

Yes, they sprayed window cleaner and vigorously scrubbed it.  The cleaning was badly needed.

Maybe we should all chip in, and make sure they have a constant supply of Windex.  🤣🙃

I've noticed the blimp, but I haven't seen any helicopters, but then I switch back and forth between the PE cam and the FLL cam.  There was a bug on the PE cam for a while but it flew off.

 Thanks for sharing the article. I sailed with Noll a year ago and enjoyed sailing on his ship.  I like both the regular Captains on the Nieuw Statendam

Webcam page is showing 25 degrees - I presume that is celsius and not fahrenheit

Zuide is underway, backing towards the channel.

I heard iguanas were falling from the trees, it was so cold.

Zuiderdam backing out.  Nicer to see them head out, but we will still get a good look at her.  I'll need to check with Copper John, but I think Zuiderdam is officially Zuiderdam I, the first and only Zuiderdam. 

[leerathje]

Zuidie toots!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Got back in time to watch Zuiderdam backing up.

Toot fest from the two HAL ships.  Thanks ladies, we needed a few toots for our enjoyment.

[St Pete Cruiser]

Wow, what a toot fest we have!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Zuiderdam and Nieuw Amsterdam are talking to each other.
