ms Westerdam in Juneau July 19, 2018

[Scrapnana]

Westerdam will be at the CT dock from 0800-1800. (Remember she usually arrives very early.)

 

The weather is slightly improving with a high of 69F/21C and a low of 49F/10C. There are supposed to be showers in the morning (40% chance) but partly cloudy in the afternoon. Sunrise is at 4:23 am and sunset at 9:44 pm.

 

Also in port are Norwegian Jewel (0700-1315) at the AJ dock, Infinity (0730-2000) at the AS dock, and Grand Princess (0800-2100) at the FKL dock.

The Westy will be in early.

Thursday ship usually tries to approach the dock at 6 am Alaska time. Doesn't matter if it is Westie or Noordam - 6 am it is.

If it's early I might make it.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thank you for the reminder.

[Scrapnana]

Westerdam rounding Douglas Island and is in the lead as usual.

 

Rather foggy in Juneau this morning.

[Scrapnana]

At Marmion Island.

[Happily@Sea]

I wonder how close that cloud is to the outer harbor area? Over it or back over the mountains?

 

Anyway, it looks like we have a good view.

[Happily@Sea]

Well, we did have a good view - sadly, no more.

I know. I thought it was clearing up and then it got 10 times worse.:mad:

[Happily@Sea]

Do I hear Westie? I hear a foghorn.

[Scrapnana]

Do I hear Westie? I hear a foghorn.

 

I was wondering if that was her, also.

[Scrapnana]

Foghorn getting closer. It has cleared a tad. We may be able to see something.

[Scrapnana]

I think I see something moving.

[Happily@Sea]

Yep, that's definitely her.

[Scrapnana]

WP on duty.

[Happily@Sea]

WP on duty.

 

 

Excellent!!

[Happily@Sea]

WP and no real view - it figures.

[Scrapnana]

Talk about a grey day!

[Happily@Sea]

Look at the timing on this, with the turn to line up port - it will put her at the dock at the correct time. No overtime for linesmen.

[Happily@Sea]

Clear shot.

[Happily@Sea]

Here comes the fog again, I'll see you for sailaway tonight.

[Scrapnana]

See you then!
