Wind experience in Alaska during the storm

[nowornever]

If anyone is embarking or disembarking the Wind in Nome, could you let us know about your experience during this horrid looking storm?  I hope that it hasn't been too rough & the schedule hasn't been disrupted to a great extent.  Travel safely & please let us know about your experiences.

Waiting for the punny response on the combination of a storm and Wind.  Oh wait, I just did!!!

I understand that the departure has been delayed by a couple of days. It may have left by now.

As long as we are on the Wind topic....  Would love a report on how things are going onboard in general. Have they worked out the rehab kinks? How is staffing, food, service, etc.  Thanks!  

 

We are boarding in about a month and would like to manage expectations. 😃

I'm curious, too.  I'm to sail Silver Wind on October 16 from San Diego.

cruisemapper.com shows that the Wind is in a protected bay near Teller, AK and Port Clarence Coast Guard Station.  L'Austral was in the same bay but has now departed for Kodiak.

I just noticed that they're still there, if that website is correct. I wonder if the dock in Nome was damaged?  From what I see online, there was a lot of wind & flood damage in the area.  I trust the passengers, crew & staff the ship did not suffer any incidents.  This was to be a turn-around port for the onward trip to Vancouver yesterday.  I am to board in YVR so I've been following their progress.  What a nightmare.  Fingers crossed for all.
