Might be a little earlier than usual - just a warning.

With the early arrival I hope to make it.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thank you for the reminder.

Westerdam is just passing the entrance to Tracy Arm.

[Krazy Kruizers]

It will be a while for her then.

 

Thank you Roy.

[Happily@Sea]

Westie past Grand Island  heading for Gastineau Channel - maybe 45 minutes to the harbor.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Yup -- I see her on the Marine map.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Westerdam is getting closer.

[Happily@Sea]

Passing the tall pole.

 

[Krazy Kruizers]

I see the Westerdam coming.

[rafinmd]

Just got to the fire house.  Got the webcam on my IPAD and logged into Cruise Critic on my PC.

Maybe Juneau will have a clear day for a change.

I think I've been pretty lucky in Juneau.

Many of our stops in Juneau we have had clear weather.  One time it was in the 90's.

[Sharon in AZ]

So pretty sailing in!

[rafinmd]

Not a good situation for tender 5.

The tenders already got told off for creating a wake at the docking area.  Now engine troubles on one.

 

[Krazy Kruizers]

At first it looked like Westerdam was going to dock with the starboard side facing inland.

 

Now she is turning around and will dock with the port side facing inland.

She called in earlier to make sure Viking was not going to be in the way [she was aware and ready - was the response] - stated they had stuff they needed to do on port side so needed to be facing the dock requiring a swing around in the harbor area.
