Three more days for Capt. Turner on ZADM

John, are you home now?

[Copper10-8]

John, are you home now?

 

Yes Ma'am; life is good! ;)

[Copper10-8]

ZADM is going port side alongside; butt to the camera behind Celebrity; A-Deck shell door is open for the gangway

[Copper10-8]

Still like that "old" logo much better than the new one

[rafinmd]

Nice, even if brief coverage. Copper, you aren't by chance home on January 23 when Serenity visits Los Angeles, are you?

Yes Ma'am; life is good! ;)

We have missed all your expert knowledge. Hope you enjoy your time off!

Roy

 

Yeah; I should be home then Roy; It take it you'll be on her?

[Copper10-8]

Nice look at the life raft canisters for the crew

[Copper10-8]

Thank you Ma'am

[rafinmd]

Correct.

 

 

Roy

[Copper10-8]

Correct.

 

 

Roy

Are you starting in L.A.? San Pedro or Long Beach?

[Copper10-8]

That eagle is talking a lot ;)

 

10 meters to come ahead for ZADM until good gangway position

[Scrapnana]

OK, I am off to the pool. Hope to see some of you for sail-away since it is early!

[Happily@Sea]

Copper, I more question. The brackets in the white part of the bow; they are obviously used for tying something to the ship or vice versa. When would they actually be used. I can't imagine they are there for decoration.

It's actually a turn around for me on a B2B. World Cruise embarkation.

 

San Pedro

Those openings are part of the forward mooring deck. Headlines and Breast lines can be passed through there to the dock, depending on position and dock/"dolphin" or mooring buoy

Looks like a decent day in Juneau for the Zaandam passengers.

San Pedro

Cool; when it gets closer, let me know if I can take you somewhere. Pedro is a 15 min ride away

These aren't openings, they are metal brackets spaced along the top area of the bow - painted white to blend in with the background. - a backward L and a forward L together - spaced apart from the next pair.

Looks like the weather is a bit better today, about time.

[rafinmd]

And now my co-favorite ship.

 

Roy

[rafinmd]

About as good a sail-in as we can hope for with Infinity blocking things. I hope to be back for Zaandam sailaway.

What a gorgeous afternoon in Juneau! I wonder how many passengers realize how lucky they are that it is not raining.

[Scrapnana]

20 minutes!

[Happily@Sea]

Thanks for the heads-up. Time had snuck up on me.
