More meanderings from a proud father buna

Jimbuna · 05-31-12, 10:35 AM

Anyone living near to the River Tyne will see quite a site this Sunday 3rd from approx 3.15pm onwards when the Holland America Line cruise ship Eurodam pays a 24 hour visit.

At 285 metres and almost 87,000 ton she is the biggest cruise liner to pay a visit iirc.

What is of special interest to me is the fact my 23 year old lad (just been accepted for promotion to second officer but awaiting a vacancy) will be on her as third officer.

I'll be on the Groyne on the south side of the river as she enters the harbour (any of you that are familiar with the area will know the location) taking photos and my lad (James) has made arrangements for his mam, sister and me to tour the boat on Monday with a lunch thrown in from one of the ships restaurants.

I'll put up some photos after the event.

And rightly so.

Enjoy yourselves.

Edit: I see it's currently in Kattegat - tell him to watch out for my Boot.
