Thanks for the updates, Willem! :D Weather looks pretty ok today for her journey home! :D

That webcam is looking into the city. Those warships belong to the Navy Museum. When they could turn the webcam 180 degrees, you could look to the locks. I did have quite a busy morning by e-mailing and phoning the people who are joining me on monday, about the time they have to be on the Bernisse.

:D :D :lol: :lol: You just gotta love translators :roll: :lol: The chamber relieve sore prosperous :?: :? . The ocean is tranquil and the weather is splender. Meanwhile is the zeeloods aboard. The ss Rotterdam is being dragging through 2 ocean haulier. But it sounds like all is well :lol: and that she is in the care of the sea tugs

http://www.vesseltracker.com/en/Area/wilhelmshaven/Map.html You can register for the free version, but than there is 2 hour delay in the information. On this map I found that the ship is toweb by two seatugs, RT MAGIC and RT SPIRIT, but still assisted by two harbour tugs, WAL and BLEXEN. A small passengership JENS ALBRECHT is sailing in the neighbourhood, probably with press and bobo's :lol: :lol:

I hope those aboard JENS ALBRECHT are taking some good pictures for us! :D

Forgot about VesselTracker :oops: Of which I am already a Free Member. Found the Sea Tugs and Blexen & Wal but not Jens Albrecht :?:

Looks like she has a Coast Guard escort as well! :D

Willem- 08-02-2008

Jens Albrecht might be a ferry and is (was) at Horumersiel

Liz- 08-02-2008

I am confused....la-*test*-('") info from Vessel Tracker shows Spirit on the move, but Magic moored back in Wilhelmshaven :?: :?: :?

Liz- 08-02-2008

Nice pictures from the Homecoming site :D

Liz- 08-02-2008

Now Spirit is coming back, too :?: :?:

Willem- 08-02-2008

Local time 18.22 (less 2 hours), they are all just north of the Waddenisland Spiekeroog. RT Magic and RT Spirit are still towing and Wal and Blexen are still around. Coastguard Wsp3 is returning to Wilhelmshaven. The aerial photos look very, very good. :D :D It's only a pity the davits and lifeboats are not on board :(

Where are you looking to see this......How can Spirit and Magic be in two places at the same time :?: :?:
