It was ffffreaking fffreeeezing on wednesday last when we got off the Koningsdam.  Papers said it was coldest in years!

I know. I was following the weather updates, and couldn't believe what I was seeing. 😵  

 

But it wasn't the 1st time this happened. I remember all the weird cold spells that the south has been getting.

Don't believe "seeing is believing" - it should be "feeling is believing"!  🥶

Ok, now forward.  Hope she saved a few good toots for final departure.

I think Zuiderdam is officially Zuiderdam I, the first and only Zuiderdam.

Nope, it is Zuiderdam 2.  Zuiderdam 1 was in the line from 1940 to 1948

(there was a history of HAL names last year sometime and I kept a pdf of it for reference/trivia and times like this!)

Zuide must have been speeding, I heard them try to pull her over.

Thanks Kathi and the rest of the sail away fans.  Have a good night.

[VMax1700]

Great close up of NA.  No sign of pax onboard.  I wonder is it late checkin and boarding for the charter cruise?

Was nice to watch the Zuiderdam sail out.   Toots were good--Did you has Hear that Sky Princess.
