It's not normaI, but I have been up for the last two sail-ins, wonder if I'll also be up for this one. I definitely plan to be here for sailaway.. It may be wet in PEV/FLL tomorrow if it is like today. They've had some flooding there. Coming from Europe, Oosterdam may have later boarding and leaving. We'll see.

That was an early one, missed it, hope to be here for sail away.

Port schedule says she arrived at 4 am. Middle of the night for me.

It is windy, rainy and generally fugly in Fort Lauderdale. It looks like it will be this way through Thursday night. All our phones rang with alerts from the city yesterday to tell us that 6-8 inches of rain are expected. Pretty much the entire area is made up of those low lying areas they warn you about in these situations.

 

Looks lovely for the weekend, but not for the Oosterdam.

Kind of what I expected from yesterday's weather and the fact the whole state is getting this storm/front. We aren't getting the volume of rain - yet. But we do need it.

I'm off the ship and now at the airport. It's definitely raining.

Leanne, thanks for posting the link.  

[Happily@Sea]

We finally have a confirmed time of 6 pm.

[Happily@Sea]

Emerald Pr is leaving. She has a tug alongside.

And she was confirmed for a 3:45 pm departure.  I hope Oosterdam isn't as late as she is ...  But good things are worth waiting for !

 

[Happily@Sea]

With the weather in Fort Lauderdale and the fact the BHB had to go through extra US paperwork, I wouldn't be surprised if 6 pm is maybe the earliest possible leaving time.

[Happily@Sea]

Unless it is the wind - we might have movement - showing on marine map.

[Happily@Sea]

Back to 0.0 - must be wind movement.

[Happily@Sea]

Now with 2 tugs - it looks like she might be leaving. - speed at 0.7

[Happily@Sea]

Back to 0.1 again.

Definitely leaving; she's away from the dock on the map. It's mighty windy there.

2 tugs at her stern.

[Happily@Sea]

Should be showing soon, smokestack moving behind building.

 

There's her bow.

There she is.

[Happily@Sea]

Zoom - we do have a cameraperson.

[oakridger]

Nasty weather!  

[Happily@Sea]

Silent leaving - probably blow the sound away - anyway. Have a nice cruise - you all.

[Happily@Sea]

Thanks to the ones who stuck around, posting or not. Thanks to our cameraperson. An extra thanks to Leanne for the thread.

 

Both Signature Sisters Saturday.
