ms Oosterdam in Juneau July 11, 2017

[Copper10-8]

I had the impression Sojourn deployed at least one tender while still docked and may have had some business right away. I think I heard "13 guests and 3 crew" while the ship was still headed for anchorage. People who pay Seabourn prices don't want to stand on the dock while the crew sets up tender service.

Copy that and makes sense; the ship (Sojourn's OOW) advised tender #1 that they were ready to accept tenders and gave him instructions to pass astern, stay away from the bow, and keep an eye on Oosterdam. Always takes a bit while the sailors rig the ship's tender platform, railings, etc.

Another raindrop right where Oosterdam should be.

Sounds like quite a bit of wind.

[Vict0riann]

Bit better now. there's a clear area..:)

 

And now it's spattered with raindrops again!

[rafinmd]

Is that Oosterdam above NCL's bow?

I saw that. She should come out behind Jewel shortly.

Sojourn's pilot advising Oostie's pilot that Sojourn's anchor is now down although you can still hear its chain rattling down the Hawes pipe. And he just now thanked Oosterdam for "holding back" a bit

Another little flashback. I just happened to notice MV Kennicott on Marine Traffic docked at the Juneau Ferry terminal and it brought me back to last year. That departure was about as close to leaving a passenger as I've ever seen. The hatch was just closed as she ran up and got somebody's attention. She would have a hard time if she missed the boat. Her motorcycle was onboard and there was no further place to meet the ship until Whittier. She was on board in plenty of time when we left Yakatat.

 

 

And there's Oosterdam.

Double raindrop has Oostie covered.

[Scrapnana]

Did you get a zoom yesterday?

It never stopped panning yesterday.

[frankc98376]

I was thinking the raindrop was following her just to block her out

[rafinmd]

It never stopped panning yesterday.

 

I think it did zoom for a little while but by the time docking really got underway it zoomed back out to cover both Eurodam and NA.

 

 

Oosterdam seems to be aiming straight for the dock. It should soon start rotating one way or the other.

Or was that Friday??

So why does moisture destroy leather? After all, when it’s raining, cows don’t go up to the farmhouse yelling, “Let us in! We’re all wearing leather! We’re going to ruin the whole outfit here!”

Port of Juneau camera is clearer but has no motion - of course.

Because it's usually been tanned or some other process done to it??

Oostie going port side to; easier to get out later tonite

She does about half the time - ever since she went SB all May.

[Vict0riann]

Not much to see today... I'll be back!:)

 

Thanks, Kathi.

Jewel needs to get out of Dodge and give Pearl the dock.

Pearl is a little early - she can wait. ;p
