Rare Copper10-8 Posted June 12, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Nieuw Amsterdam repatriated her first non-Asian crew in Manila Bay via tender yesterday. That tender, #15, was sent away with some extra toots/toeters "Ft. Lauderdale/Port Everglades-style" 😉 Tender.mp4 Edited June 12, 2020 by Copper10-8 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJSULIBRARIAN Posted June 12, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Thanks Copper. I had been wondering why the Amsterdam is still in Manilla Bay. are there more crew waiting to be repatriated? It is also so amazing to see all those ships lined up at anchorage. Great toots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted June 12, 2020 #3 Share Posted June 12, 2020 That is absolutely lovely John. Tears to my eyes for the toots for those crew members. So well deserved. Thank you for sharing this ❤️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted June 12, 2020 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Is that the tender's horn at the start. Don't hear those often. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of ships are now waiting in the Bay to send their non-essential, non-Asian crew home via Manila. It's a slow process, hurry up and wait 😟 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Yes, that tiny one at the start of the video belongs to tender #15 and is the work of her helmsman, an officer, on his knees on his seat, while steering, with his upper body out of the open roof hatch. They - the tenders - each have one, a horn (as they also have radar, nav lights and a comm set) but, you're right, they're not used a heck of a lot, the horn that is Edited June 12, 2020 by Copper10-8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzingnut Posted June 13, 2020 #12 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Thanks @Copper10-8 for that video. It was great and a welcomed sound for sure! I keep watching the Amsterdam on the ship tracker wishing that she'd go somewhere but know there are still crew from other parts of the world on her waiting to get off.
