3000 people on the port cams and 2000 on the beach cam....I don't think I've ever seen the numbers this high.  No wonder the cams keep crashing. 

And 6000 on Port Everglades webcam.  Waiting for the ships...

I have lost all my cameras, too. But according to Vesselfinder the pilot boat has merged with the Zaandam and they are one.

So many people watching, I've been bounced off both cams.

Webcam has been stopping and starting for me.  Maybe too many people watching?  Great sight right now with the Z & R on the Beach Cam.  🙂

Wow, this is weird!  Just now my phone rang.  HAL on the caller ID.  It was my dear PCC (same one for 10 years) calling about my cancelled cruise.  I just yelled into the phone..."Hang up and get on the webcams.  Zaandam and Rotterdam are coming in right now!!  Talk to you later!".  Yeah, seriously.

Priorities!

Capt. Ane Jan Smit - Zaandam (1st pic far right standing)

 

Capt. Bas van dreumel - Rotterdam

Thank you.  Special prayers for them.  I just can't think how they must feel.

Those who still have access to webcams, please post photo for those of us who don't.

Thanks.

[Copper10-8]

We'll find out if the webcams candle handle this many viewers 😬

[Lois R]

I can't see anything either

[Scrapnana]

Lost all three now.

We were on the Rotterdam until it ended in Puerto Vallarta.  Met the Captain....great man.

[regnig]

both the cameras I've been watching just froze up... somebody please let me know if they are still headed in

[leerathje]

Finally!  Being on the West Coast, I can never get my sorry ass out of bed that early to watch sail in....I get to see it today!!

9500+ viewers on Port Everglades webcam.

[RMLincoln]

CNN had a recording of Zaandam captain Ane Jan Smit announcing that they were cleared to proceed to the pier.  Probably jumped the viewers on the webcams.  m--

[Vict0riann]

There was a helicopter overhead too, but I missed it!  Too excited.

Fort Lauderdale webcam has 7240.  Never saw it that high and i can't reconnect.

[Aquahound]

It looks like Rottie is overtaking Zaandie.

I know all about it...…..they were denied entry.

Not the United States finest hour.  Several years ago a movie was made of the incident  “Ship of Fools.”
