ms Eurodam & ms Nieuw Amsterdam in Juneau June 5, 2017

All the usual suspects will be in Juneau on Monday (and for the next 15 weeks!).

Eurodam will be at the AS dock from 1300-2200 and Nieuw Amsterdam at the CT dock from 1300-2200.

Joining them will be Solstice at the AJ dock (1330-2200) and Ruby Princess at the FKL dock (1100-2215).

The forecast is for cloudy with a 90% chance of rain. High will only be 55F/13C and low of 49F/9C). Sunrise will be at 3:56 am and sunset at 9:54 pm..

Thank you for the reminder.

Don't know if I will be able to attend the sail in.

On AIS I see tour boat St. Peter heading for what appears to be a roundezvous with Nieuw Amsterdam at Tracey Arm.

It is another one of those rainy days that make the webcam look like it is in black and white.:(

Thanks, Kathi - looks like the webcam needs windshield wipers!:)

If the operator is there when the ships start to arrive, the camera will be shaken side to side - dispelling the worse of the raindrops.

St. Peter and Nieuw Amsterdam roundezvous is starting now.

I call it the "webcam wiggle".;)

I did not know what to call it - to someone who had not yet experienced it in action. :D

Ruby in sight. Will there be wiggle?

We appear to have a camera operator, at least it moved and Zoomed.

no picture on the webcam.

It's back!

It's back and Eurodam approaching Gastineau Channel.

Weather appears to be steadily worsening.

Eurodam approaching Marmion Island.

Not much longer - she is near Thane.

Watching weather up there for Oosterdam next week. Looking pretty cold and maybe wet. Expecting pretty much exactly what we are seeing now. :( NW marine flow looks pretty well entrenched for a few weeks more.

Obviously PTZ has seasonal port cameras, like Juneau. I wonder if there could ever be one at Seattle. The Space Needle camera is not real-time and too far away. A camera on the Seattle Marina next door to Pier 91 would be good, especially since HAL tends to dock on that side. Does the location (like the Hanger) need to "sponsor" the camera?

Eurodam at Thane.

Coming from behind storage tanks.

Big blobs of rain right where we get our first glimpse.

I was just checking the web cam and saw those big blobs.
