Sometimes I post the reminders early the day before in case I might not be home till late.

Yes, but you said "today" at least twice. Looked to me like something could have been overlooked (haven't we all done that?).

Roy

Thanks for posting.

Ah! Good catch ;) I often prepare the text for the reminders in advance and write it as if it is the "day of" the sail-away. :D

Thanks for the reminder. So nice that Sail Away season is back.

Thanks for the reminder, Peter... Looking forward to joining in...

Looking forward to her coming back to Ft. Lauderdale as that is when I will be boarding her for the Panama Canal transit to San Diego!!!

Veendam not far off shore right now, almost to channel.

Veendam is getting close.

She sure looks pretty.

Will try hard to make this one... I was about a half hour late for Zuiderdam on Wednesday (sort of figuring they'd be late out). Thanks for the reminder, Peter.

We're missing the first few because we're on vacation, but thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the reminder. Nice day in Port Everglades.

Sounds like poor vacation planning to me. :eek: :D

Are you going to be back for the Koningsdam's maiden visit? :confused:

Having an awful time trying to get on the site, blank pages keep turning up, have to try loading 4-5 times. Anyway I'm here now to watch the sail away.

We're on vacation for our 25th wedding anniversary. The ships will be there when we get back.

Thanks for the reminder! Great to be having sailaways once again !
