Nice long toots from the NS.

[rafinmd]

Nice toots and more nice toots.  NS best of the day at least so far.  Work cut out for volendam.

And the toots just keep coming and coming.

Nice shot of Ger and the flag.

Now that is what I call a good bye wave.  Great zoom on Ger_77 and her crew.  Hope someone got a photo of it for her.

Just about to head to breakfast, then take a private shuttle over to the Nieuw Statendam.  For sailaway, we'll be with our friends on our aft balcony on Deck 5, and will have the Canadian flag attached to the railing.  Oh, and we'll be waving like crazy!  LOL

 

Smooth Sailing! 

 

I think we just saw you! 4 people on the aft balcony, a gentleman waving his hands over his head, a woman with a flashy little wavy thing (sorry, can't think of what they're called) and 2 other people also waving! Canadian flag on the railing! Woohooooooooooooooooooooooo! Have a fabulous cruise!!

 

Just saw the screen shot above, so glad somebody thought to take that! Yup, that's what we saw!!

 

Best wishes!

Thanks Kathi and the rest of the sailaway crowd.  I may try and come back later to catch the Volendam but I have to go for now.  Good Night

And here are 2 more.  (I could only get a blurred image of the close up - not posting it)

Great toots, a least a dozen of them.

Nice job Nieuw Statendam!

Camera is focused on the Volendam.  Hope she drops lines soon.

I think she will, Father.  I heard them say they were holding a freighter outside the port until she leaves.

The freighter might be docking at pier 2!

[leerathje]

Looks to me her lines have dropped...but then again, it is a fairly dark camera shot!

Underway...

 

[leerathje]

And she's off!

[Himself]

She is moving!

[rafinmd]

Only 4 minutes later than original schedule.  Not bad for such a major voyage.

 

Roy

[leerathje]

Oh, she looks so pretty in the twilight!

Moving faster than Magic yesterday - and Volendam is backing out. 

[Rowsby]

Beautiful.....!!!

[wdw1972]

Yes glad it's light enough to still see her, unlike last night's sailing of Amsterdam.

I hope it isn't too late for some nice toots.  The start of a cruise like this certainly calls for a celebration.
