Finally...what we have been waiting for!:)

Very brief, but good to hear a bit of the farewell from Mark the Port Agent to the Captain.

 

Sure would like to meet Mark. Seems like a good guy.

There's a tug behind the Westerdam.

 

 

Thanks for the pix. Is that normal?

No. It might have been "parked" there. I don't see it now.

You might want to consider the reverse itinerary: Vancouver to Fort Lauderdale. That one goes from cool/cold to warm.

 

Fort Lauderdale to Vancouver goes from warm to cool/cold.

I'm very excited about this band of clouds overhead. It's hard to shoot photos into the direct sun. ;)

Time for the reveal!

Looks like Indy OTS is off the dock too. There's quite a parade going on.
