Here she comes.

 

A little bit of white amongst the grays.

 

And a webcam person ZOOM!

[bUU]

You're getting into this webcam arrival stuff, huh? ;)

I actually got curious about the transfer between NA and St. Peter, i.e., whether it was on a dock or if the ship and the boat tied up to each other. (Clearly, it is the latter.)

This is the first time I remember that Eurodam and NA are coming in about an hour apart.

I haven't looked recently but it does the same thing at the other end of the tour (I think about 5:30 Alaska time). It's relatively easy to follow the boat on AIS and when it gets close I've seen a tiny dot coming up to the Volendam. They seem to tie up at the tender hatch immediately opposite the gangway.

Yeah, I remember those days on Oosterdam; the Allen Marine boats - St. Peter today - use one of their own ramps to temporarily connect to the HAL ship (A-Deck on OSDM) and then the transfer begins. Doesn't usually last more than ten, at the most fifteen minutes.

Someone not a happy camper with an employee cleaning boats :cool:

May 8 [2nd wk], May 29, and June 5th - it was almost exactly an hour. June 12th, 19th, and Jul 3 - it was 35 mins. All the rest are very close.

Wow! You keep good records.:D

If I had any computer skills and could run programs, I could do Jacqui's job on the Bon Voyage thread. I love details!!

[Copper10-8]

Pop quiz; what is the name for the lines, with lights, that run from bow foremast to top deck to stern and are lit up at night?

[Happily@Sea]

CCL lights - all the Carnival Corp ships have them [:D]

[Copper10-8]

Fwd heaving line ashore from the dive board

[Happily@Sea]

As you can see from my guess on the pop quiz, I have no idea - at all.

Pirate bait (no real idea)

On HAL, they're known as 'String Lights'

Going to try to make it home before NA arrives.

Nieuw A at Marmion Island weather station

[Copper10-8]

Tug Washington outbound from the Douglas Island bridge; she'll encounter the inbound NADM

 

[Scrapnana]

According to Marine Traffic she should be in sight momentarily.

 

ETA - And there she is.

[Happily@Sea]

Coming around the stern of the Solstice.

[rafinmd]

Better late than never.

[Scrapnana]

No zoom for Solstice and maybe none for NA.

Looks like you are right as she disappears behind her older sister.

 

See you all tomorrow for Oostie.
