Isn't that the AS dock?

Isn't that the AS dock?

 

Yes - wrong place again - don't they read the script?? :D

[rafinmd]

The schedule does have NA at the AS dock. A flip from the usual setup. Probably because of the Eurodam late departure.

Internal change with her sister; captain to captain

[Copper10-8]

1-2 meters ahead to clear a bollard in front of the Marshaling Area (big) shell door; she must be loading or off-loading "stuff" today

[Copper10-8]

There goes the (shore-side) gangway

Boxing match by large birds on top of the Hangar roof by the webcam

and a startup by the noise makers; sure didn't expect that unless the wind died down

[Happily@Sea]

My next ship over the holidays and right out in front. :D

[rafinmd]

At least things look a bit drier than they did when Nieuw Amsterdam was in the Gastineau.

Took a while to get the ropes taut.:) I imagine there are people on board waiting impatiently to disembark. It doesn't look like too bad a day.

[Copper10-8]

Anyone know why E-dam was late departing Seattle on Sat? Plus, calendar shows her overnighting in Juneau tonight

[rafinmd]

I didn't realize Eurodam was late leaving Seattle. I'm just wondering, could Juneau be having fireworks at midnight to ring in July 4?

 

I guess that's it for me today. If I'm up real early tomorrow I might catch the Eurodam leaving.

 

Thanks Kathi, Lou, and Dave.

That's it for me today, see you tomorrow - if anyone will be staying home.

I was thinking maybe that was why, also. Unfortunately, I won't be up at midnight Alaska time to find out.;)

[Scrapnana]

I should be back from the pool by then.:D

[Scrapnana]

There has been a steady stream of fireworks going off for about an hour now although you can't really see much.

Tuned in about 940pm to see if anyone leaving early and caught a peek at fireworks show off toward Douglas Island. Webcam did not pan towards the action. Bar patrons going crazy - very loud. If this is tonite, wonder what tomorrow will be like. Solstice preparing to go.

[Scrapnana]

Nieuw Amsterdam preparing to leave in about 15 minutes. Not sure about those two boats sitting there.

 

[Scrapnana]

Lots of fireworks going off on the Douglas side.

[Scrapnana]

Nieuw Amsterdam dropping lines and the little boats are getting out of the way.

[Scrapnana]

Two dam ships and some fireworks.

Pretty neat fireworks show for all the ship passengers. Can see folks along the docks watching. Really lasting a long time. Heard an announcement earlier that it is from a barge and they were asking a 300 ft clearance.
