Wow....did anyone else lose the group?  I couldn't access it for the entire NA departure out the channel!

Yes, it has only just come back.

Did manage to hear long clear toots from NA.

It's been 50 beautiful minutes of watching the Zaandam still sailing out of St Maarten, the web cam following her all the way out and still following

I did see some kids on NA, which isn't that common on HAL except during holidays and school vacations.

Yes will be on the Wind Surf the one that is in St Maarten right now, I am waiting to watch the Wind Surf Sail Away in about 40 minutes, prior to sailing Wind Star sailing Yachts do a ceremony of raising the sails. I am sure they will zoom into the ship when they do that since they did such a great job of following the Zaandam sail out. The web cab appears to have an excellent zoom. It departs from St Maarten every Saturday at 7 pm during the winter.
