I am currently on the Volendam.  About 2 hours ago on our way to FLL we passed 10 ships at anchor with lights on.

 

Did you get any pictures?

 

Thanks KK, I hope to be here for sailaway.

 

Looks like the jetway is not attached?

Looks like Silver Wind is still in Ft Lauderdale.  I know that she is listed as leaving at 8 AM.

 

She seems to be changing docks a lot.

I think the white truck is just toying with us.

[Vict0riann]

Yes, LWT alert!😀

See that big catamaran ferry Jaume II (Spanish-owned Balearia Eurolineas Maritimas) at the stern of Silver Wind? You never see her there so looks like she's halted business also on her daily runs to Grand Bahama and Bimini

Trimaran?  or hydrafoil?

As I sit here looking out at the 3 or 4 feet of snow in our back yard, I'm just going to imagine I'm on the Volendam, getting ready to sail away.  I have a glass of wine in my hand as I do for every time we cruise, so "Cheers everyone"!  Social distancing can sure put a crimp in your glass clinking!  LOL

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

I actually do have a glass of bubbly right now so Cheers!!! Since we were supposed to be cruising this week, hubbie and I are staycationing. Just switched over to the sailaway from enjoying the cruise ship balcony view loop on YouTube. Gotta keep spirits up.

But you are enjoying the wine without either paying a corkage fee. Here's to that.

Casillero del Diablo from Chile - a good, hearty red.

 

Kampai! and Paves the Road or something like that (Hubby's Russian, what do I know?).
