Kiwi Kruzer Posted August 26, 2009 #151 Share Posted August 26, 2009 David, I missed seeing this post of yours last week... where did you pull up that map image showing the location of the TP approaching Torshavn? Hi Paul, That map is from the sea scanner site. You can link to it by clicking on http://*****/ and following the links for current ships position.

Great tool to pass on to our friends and family to track us when we're off cruising again too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted August 27, 2009 Author #153 Share Posted August 27, 2009 We have reached our final port - Sydney, Nova Scotia. It is a nice little town (26,000 residents). The streets are clean and the people are vey friendly. We just took a walk into town (less than 10 minutes away) and walked around for an hour or so. There is also a shuttle bus to town for $5/person each way. After Sydney, we have two days at sea and then we arrive in NYC and debark :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyCaper Posted August 27, 2009 #154 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I hope you are enjoying (enjoyed?) my hometown of Sydney. I can actually see the Tahitian Princess right now from my house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a great time in Sidney. We are on the side facing away from the dock. Is that toward your house? We are n deck 6, the first cabin behind the tenders/lifeboats.

We are n deck 6, the first cabin behind the tenders/lifeboats. It is more or less pointing towards my house but it is farther down the harbour - I am a good 8 km from where you are not just across the harbour there.

paul929207 Posted August 27, 2009 Author #158 Share Posted August 27, 2009 We were scheduled to leave Sydney at 5pm today and arrive in NYC Sunday at 7:15am. Our departure has been delayed by very high winds. The earliest we will leave is 5am tomorrow (Friday). Add in Hurricane Danny and we may be at sea for a while :) The official report is that they expect an on time arrival in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted August 28, 2009 Author #160 Share Posted August 28, 2009 We sailed from Sidney at 5:10am this morning. That is about 12 hours behind schedule. The Captain says we will have no trouble making up the lost time and he expects an on time arrival in NYC. Of course, that assumes that Hurricane Danny is not too much trouble.

paul929207 Posted August 29, 2009 Author #161 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Our friend, Danny the Hurricane, has been with us most of the afternoon. The ship has definitely been rocking all afternoon. We are starting to see breaks in the clouds, so maybe we are leaving him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted August 29, 2009 #162 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Paul, hopefully you will sail away from the rockin and rollin soon, I know it can get rough out there. Been there, done that, hurricane season is a real crap shoot. Best of luck, I hope you make up that lost time and make it back to port on schedule. And thanks for all the live reports. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tahitian Princess docked in Brooklyn about 8am this morning, about 45 minutes late. Debarkation started late. We were due off at 8:30, but it was 9:00 or so when they called us. We are not at Newark Airport awaiting our 3pm filight home. The cruise was wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay tuned for my LIVE. I think I'll start it from the cruisetour in Fairbanks and just continue. Of course it depends on Alaskan wifi capability, and I do have my new little blue ASUS to keep me happy. Have a safe flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
