THANKS, WILLEM :D :D :D Almost THERE :D :D
I think they will be there tomorrow.
I am not home to hear the news, but I guess my wife will call me when she hears something.
I will be in Rotterdam for the weekend, for the World Port Festival on board of an old wooden minesweeper of the AMS60 class.

Willem, your weekend sounds great!!! Take pictures! :D
We will keep an eye on the Wilhelmshafen cam, maybe we will see the Rotterdam tomorrow.
I just tried to E-Mail Wilhelmshaven to ask them about cam potential. Used address on the cam site, but E-Mail was returned?
Have a great weekend, Wilhelm. Will watch the Rotterdam cam, too :D :D

No definitely not Liz! This should be a German Navy frigate , F 124 class.
Have a great weekend, Wilhelm. Will watch the Rotterdam cam, too :D :D
Thanks Liz,
I am back home for just one hour and had a great weekend.
Unfortunately it was very windy and wet.
Saturday afternoon, a new policeboat was christened, which I did not witness as I had to guide visitors on the Bernisse.
I did see the Pride of Hull sailing up the river and turning near the Erasmusbridge. Saturday was closed with fireworks.
Sunday started with heavy rains and the wind increased till force 8. When a hawser loosened and swiped into the public, the organisation decided to remove all people from the Wilhelmina Pier and to cancel all further activities.
On Friday and Saturday I took some photos and I hope to publish them in the upcoming week as I am still working on those of last weekend and also from my visit to the Marco Polo last Wednesday.
The Rotterdam seems to be berthed at the Hannoverkade in Wilhelmshaven.
:shock: Lord, I hope no one was hurt from the flying hawser
Glad you had a good time, but too bad about the weather.
:cry:
Is Rotterdam out of cam view :?: Weather much too bad in Wilhelmshaven, today, to see anything
Look forward to your pictures :D
Tomorrow (Wednesday), I am going to Wilhelmshaven with some friends.
I do have a contactperson in Wilhelmshaven now who will keep me informed on a regular base.
We had a wonderfull day with very good weather. My friend called with the repair yard and we got approval to walk on the quay to make photos of the ship. We were not allowed to go onboard.
