Live from the Pride Greenland and Canada…and a little dance with Idalia

[jimbo5544]

Just saw a post over on FB that the Legend is getting in an hour late from diverted Bermuda (ended up to be Nassau and Freeport).  Have not gotten any texts yet.

Anybody ever hear of two storms merging together?

Fujiwhara Effect

Weather.gov > News Around NOAA > Fujiwhara Effect

 

When two hurricanes spinning in the same direction pass close enough to each other, they begin an intense dance around their common center. If one hurricane is a lot stronger than the other, the smaller one will orbit it and eventually come crashing into its vortex to be absorbed. Two storms closer in strength can gravitate towards each other until they reach a common point and merge, or merely spin each other around for a while before shooting off on their own paths. In rare occasions, the effect is additive when the hurricanes come together, resulting in one larger storm instead of two smaller ones.

There was a movie based on a true story in the '90s or early '00s called Perfect Storm with George Clooney about a nor'easter and a hurricane colliding and making a super storm. It was about New England swordfisherman getting caught in it.

Wow thanks.  When I first read it I thought it was a joke.

Saw it!  Hope we do not live it.  Thanks.

 If those storms don't clear out, we're going to need some laughs!

I'm looking forward to following another of your great reviews. I hope the weather cooperates for you. 🙂

Saw a FB post this morning that the current sailing is not getting into port til 10:30 to 11.  We have never gotten text or email but our boardding time was 1:30.  It will be an interesting embarkation.

Marinetraffic shows the Legend is in the bay, still a ways to go to reach the cruise terminal. looks like it will take about 2 hours or so

[PC 462]

Legend is docked now.

Since embarkation is delayed one hour, I suppose departure will also be delayed.

I tend to agree, but if seas will be an issue, it might jeopardize arrival in Greenland.  Possible logistics issues.   We will see.

Here's to hoping not since Greenland would be the whole reason for the cruise. If they would even remotely think there would be any logistical issues with the current scheduled itinerary, especially with tendering since both Greenland ports are tender ports, hopefully they would do something like reverse the itinerary. That would at least, in my mind, give things time to settle down with all those storms brewing. Fingers crossed! 🤞

Breakfast was fine, ship arrived shortly before 10.  We lyfted over at 12, 20 minutes for check in (dog sniffing half of that) on the ship at 12:30.

Went to our room.

Apparently not as many people park at port for 2 week cruise
