ms Amsterdam & ms Volendam in Juneau June 9, 2017

No rain but it looks awfully dark.

Roy

Volendam just in view.

Here she comes between Wonder and Sojourn.

Volendam just in view.

Now all we need is a camera operator.

Roy

Raindrops!

Still looks pretty clear to me. We have a zoom on the Pacific Princess in PE; hopefully we can get one on the Volendam.

YES!!!

Roy

A zoom!!!

Those people were bundled up like it was the middle of winter!

She doesn't look like she is moving.

I can hear raindrops, but I don't see any.

I'm sure a colder day and the wind seems quite strong - it probably feels like it is.

From that angle she looks awfully close to the Sojourn. 3d would be a nice pipe dream.

More raindrops appearing on the webcam.

That still picture view camera [you gave us earlier] shows how far apart they really are.

Nice to see Volendam so close, and inching into her dock.:)

I guess I'll go, see you Monday.

Morning from drizzly Juneau! Sojourn has some containers to load so they asked if they could use CT dock, which is floating, as opposed to FKL which is not. Our Capt obliged so we went from AS to FKL. That means Volie is going from CT to AS when she gets here Last minute changes! You have to be able to adapt, improvise and overcome 😀😄

Copper 10-8, as an expected guest on the Amsterdam when she next visits Juneau on her 14 day itinerary, I am glad to know why the change in her dock assignment for today. We're supposed to be at the AS dock and I was expecting to see the Amsterdam there today. Thanks for the information!

That's it for me as well.

See you Monday. Thanks Kathi, Lou, and Dave.

Roy

Have a nice weekend, all!:)

I hope the weather improves for you. Did you happen to find out if Captain Roberts is still on the Sojourn?

 

Roy

Yes he is; very nice man!

Yes he is; very nice man!

You bet! Thanks.

Roy

I'm thinking the Volendam passengers who got off for the Tracy Arm tour got a little extra treat. The St. Phillip was stopped for several minutes off the coast and just started back at 1.7 knots. I'm betting on a nice wildlife sighting.

Roy

Sorry I missed the Volendam arriving in Juneau.

It was a beautiful day and we spent the afternoon outside.

Yes he is; very nice man!

hello copper, we are going to be on Amsterdam doing a b2b from july 19 to aug 14. she is one of our favs having spent 45 days on her during the tales of the south pacific. Do you know about officers, capt, hotel director, cruise director? can barely wait to be back on board. would love to introduce ourselves to you then. best. doug and jill

St. Phillip approaching Volendam. Should roundezvous at tender hatch to return Tracy Arm passengers to the ship.

It will probably be there about half an hour.

Roy

Can't see too much due to the rain so I am not staying up for the sail-away.

Everybody have a good weekend and I will see you on Monday.

Thanks Lou and Dave!
