That's the entire fleet of Juneau-based Wings Airways in front of the camera, five (5) DeHavilland-Canada DHC-3T Turbo Otters. The five aircraft were built at Downsview/Toronto, Ontario; N753AK in 1953, N336AK in 1958, N337AK in 1961, N338AK and N339AK both in 1965. All five aircraft have been overhauled and converted to turbine power

Webcam is doing a good job of following.

Pretty sure we're looking at the tops of four Zodiacs and a new crane on her bow

That's the plane in which I flew for the Taku Lodge and 5 Glaciers Excursion.  I was seated at the next to the last window on the starboard side.  Great excursion; great narration by the pilot; delicious lunch with a side show of a bear's appearance to lick the grill on which the salmon was cooked; a pilot was that was very helpful to this senior citizen in boarding and exiting the plane at Juneau and at Taku Lodge.

Really fun to watch! I'll be on her next month!! It'll be weird to tender in Juneau though... don't think I've ever done it there and I've been on many Alaska cruises.

Thanks for the zoom! Maasie's Boatmen aka Lifesaving attendants rigging and setting up the tender platform. Her tenders will be "splashed" soon

[Copper10-8]

Always an interesting ride down

I see that the Maasdam arrived early -- tenders already working.

Check it out; Maasie's captain saw a couple of sailors/boatmen not wearing life jackets

These are simply great web cam views!  Thanks to the web cam operator!  I see others like me who walk down those stairs:  one step at a time!

Looks like a nice day in Juneau.

I hope I never have to ride one down - for real.

Wishing all the Maasdam passengers a great day in Juneau.

I agree. Useful since this will be me in three weeks. 🙂

Maasdam's SECO Jeff already on the tender dock ashore using the call sign "Shoreside," requesting an extra UHF radio

[Happily@Sea]

I guess I'm done for today -  see you all tomorrow.

[joekerstef]

Time for me to go pack! Enjoy the views everyone!

What is the rank of the Deck Officer that supervises the tender platform operations?
