I've just been watching the FTL cam.  I guess it's time for me to try the PE cam.

Didn't hear a thing except engine noise and the British Dania Bridge controller oh yeah, a captain bragging about the big one hec caught and let go;

 

Dropping all lines on Volie

[Happily@Sea]

Isolation on Volendam and I heard NO toot.

 

[rafinmd]

Is Captain Turner on vacation, in command or something else?

 

Roy

[Happily@Sea]

Moving out.

[Copper10-8]

Captain Christopher Turner is in command of Volendam during his last contract prior to retirement

 

[rafinmd]

Captain Turner tooted quite nicely leaving Key West last night.

So an easy pop quiz today; what class of ships does Volie belong to, who are her sisters,

and what is she named after?

[rafinmd]

All of the R-class (Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Zaandam, and Volendam) are named after cities in the Netherands.  I think Volendam is the only one of the 4 cities I have yet to visit.

Rotterdam, Zandam

 

Forgot Amsterdam

Three in a row Roy! Volie is named after the real nice town of Volendam where you can have your pic taken in traditional Volendam costume

Close!! Good job!

[rafinmd]

Very nice, Captain Turner.  I imagine this is the last time I will see him sail away so he went out (for me) on a high night.

 

Scrapnana and others, sorry you couldn't stay.

 

See everyone tomorrow.

Well she sails off, That is it for me today.

[Copper10-8]

Capt. Turner, I do believe, is getting ready for retirement! Nice job on the whistle but I would have liked to hear a bit more cowbell

[Happily@Sea]

Tomorrow is my last sailaway until I sailaway on Friday.

 

See you all for NS.

Have a great night y'all; Adios!
