Thanks for the heads up, hope to be here for sail away, I missed yesterdays.

7 ships in port today. It is good to see the cruise industry back.

Thanks Kathi, I will try to remember.

After a couple of days of much needed rain we expect to have clear skies for the sail away today . And with high of about 75 F and a low around 60 F , we feel like we have returned to a degree of normalcy here in South Florida for the cruising industry .

Isn't it wonderful opening the FLL webcam and seeing it filled with ships?  I'm setting my alarm so I don't miss sail-away!

 

Smooth Sailing!

Thanks for the faithful reminders.

[Happily@Sea]

Thanks, Kathi.

 

I WON'T be here early - with the UGLY Edge blocking the view of the BHB, there is no reason to waste my time watching that. Hopefully, it will leave on time. 😄

It's been so long, I've forgotten how to do this. How do I hear the toots? All I can pick up is the harbor chatter. Thanks!

Switch on VHF at top of screen.

A Sailaway Party!  I'm on Ft Lauderdale, but no sounds so far.  Is Port Everglades better for sound?

I did that, so I have the chatter but will that also give me toots? Sounds like someone was refused boarding one of the ships because they didn't have a vaccine card!

I think what you are hearing is the same as what I am.  It's VHF and not "port sounds".  Yesterday when the Rotterdam sailed, the port sounds were turned on as the ship was sailing and was a separate channel that VHF.  Of course, I may be totally wrong as to the tech involved.

What does "active" mean?  I don't remember seeing that on the Port Schedule before.
