OK, while we're waiting, a pop quiz. HAL's prior logo had a cruise ship and a sail ship in it; the cruise ship was the 1938 Dutch ship of state Nieuw Amsterdam II;

 

1. What was the nickname of Nieuw A II?

2. What was the name of the sail ship (Dutch or English)?

3. Whose' sail ship was it?

 

The Half Moon and it was Henry Hudson's ship.  Don't recall the answer to Q #1.

You've got two out of the three (Halve Maen/Half Moon and HH)  First one has to do with "the Dutch" She was known as "the ....... of the Dutch"

Imagine doing a T-A cross on this bad boy:

We also have a white truck at one of the bollards

[erewhon]

Lot of black smoke from Zuidy. There have been complaints here about the amount of pollution coming from cruiseships whilst in port.

Fwd lines are dipping, BSO boat showed up, no Coasties today

Dropping lines.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Lines down.

[Happily@Sea]

All lines dropped.

[Spunky946]

Made it just in time.

[erewhon]

More smoke and underway with departure toots.

[Happily@Sea]

Departure toots.

[Copper10-8]

And we're off to the races; Coasty small boats (2), bravely interrupting their chow, showed up for the party also 

[Krazy Kruizers]

She is on the move.

[Copper10-8]

Her string lights are illuminated

[Krazy Kruizers]

Hope they got the asipod repaired.

Just in time to watch her leave, Bon Voyage, fair winds & smooth seas.

For me, that is one of the advantages of watching late sailings.  (Or, if one has a hotel room overlooking the entrance to Port Everglades, the entry of the ships into the port.

What a difference from weekends re: traffic on the ICW

[Happily@Sea]

That was a quick turnaround today. From docking just after 10 am to only 1/2 hour late.
