We have the cam up at on the NCTC closed circuit system. We still have some technical glitches to deal with and some other work to get the picture online, but we're getting close.
The new cam is framing the nest a bit differently, it seems a bit closer than the old cam.
If I can get a frame shot I'll post it.

Wow! Thanks for the news Steven. Can't wait to see the cam pic.
BOOYAH!!!!, Thanks, Steven and thanks for the heads up, Megan
Lisa, it was pretty much done for diversity, Tians' is well represented.
Thanks for the alert Megan!
Thank you Steve - GO after those GLITCHES! You best move the crowd out of the entrance way so they can clean off their desks - it's Friday!
Thanks again & looking forward to a frame shot
Anne's ship is now cruising in the Glacier Bay! Hope they all don't go dock side on just one side of the ship to view them as they pass.
Topsie Turvie!!!
NEW UPDATE ON BW.
chunks of ice floating by.
Awesome, closer is good!
Can't wait to see the picture!!
Thanks for keeping us updated Steve.
Looks like ice at Glacier Bay in the water
Blackwater Open House - October 6th
If you can make it, it's a great time. Suz and I went last year. We had loads of fun, even in the drizzle and cold that day! I hope the weather is better for this year's event!
Squiggles is at the door again. Do you suppose her eyes are starting to open and she can see the light? Or maybe she just senses that mom is outside. Still too cute.
Jill - they said on the video yesterday they could start to see the eye slits. The eyes are supposed to be open in a couple of weeks.
Cool , if you want to do the eagle prowl at BW with Zeeger you better register right away. They fill up fast.
GLACIERS IN VIEW.
How cool is that! I mean the Glacier.
I didn't know about Open House BW
We still have great pics from Paula & Suz when they went last year (in the drizzling rain)
That date is out for me again this year... Soldier boy coming to MD for the weekend. He'll be deployed at end of Oct...again.
Jo, sent you something on the old thread just now about the glaciers
bobbi said
Hi Jo, Just read the blogs and saw your question about glacier bay. That is really something to see. First you have icebergs floating around the boat. Not big but you can see down in the water how deep they go. They are white on top of water and a beautiful blue underneath. When you get to the glacier ship drops anchor for quite awhile. You are pretty close and get to hear and see the glacier calving into the water and hear the sounds it makes.The glacier not all white but a pretty blue green color. It is so quiet and still and then all of a sudden the the calving starts and the sound is loud and if you look carefully you can see when the next one will begin and watch it happen. Anne will love this. Hope she takes lots of pictures I have so many of this area
Thanks for the description, Bobbi
Thank you Paula for bringing it over.Didn't know how to do it. Still have a lot to learn.
Hope anne is wearing her winter coat it is cold there.
Osprey at BW
Great info, Bobbi! Thanks for giving such an awesome description of it to us- Feels like I am there!
closeup on SD chubby cubby
Check out DC Zoo - both cams!
Treat time for Tian and Mei
Little Prince entertaining himself - all alone - and I bet it doesn't matter one bit to him!
If you all are interested in sea otters there is a site Monterey Bay Aquarium which has live cams of them and also monterey bay where you can see the seals on rocks in the bay.
I think we used to watch that one Bobbi.... I forgot about it and I do love those little critters!
Isn't that pretty
Little CC on her back!
Looks like a little Ballerina girl
Aww, she finally made it over and I missed it!
Poor little thing wore herself out! Now she is napping.
They did zoom in on her.. Really really chubby little gal!
I suppose that LUNCH in AK is on the ship! lol
Frieda is in 'color'
Thank you Jo :)
I know you usually say that....
Guess it means a day ahead of us and sunrise........
No, Jo, I really meant thank you. I hadn't brought Freida up yet today.
Osprey still at BW
we still have a blue screen, but my date and time are correct.
THANK YOU MITS FOR CHECKING
Mine are also!!
We're getting there!
I took it as a Thank you! kk
Anyone else hear the racket in Maine? lol
Buta Buta - wake up and take cover! Severe storms heading toward metro Atlanta
Been hearing alot of crows.
car just started up in Maine, sounded like a VW.
My sound (ears) isn't working too well. Had the volume up as high as it would go........... :(
Another Glacier in view
Lots of icebergs......
Looks like Squiggles is laying up against some sort of pipe??????
I forgot to mention that there has been a steady rain falling here all afternoon. Calls for it again tomorrow.. So glad our picnic site has a very very large pavilion.
Howdy Folks... Been watching Annes ship cruise the Bay and hoping for a whale to breach... Kind of gloomy outside rain on the way perhaps.... No time to go back and read all the blog messages from pass few days, but i am sure ya'll kept busy chatting... Now on to bad news... Please pray for my daughter Dawn as she is not doing well at all.. Ever since the suicide of the guy working for her husband and seeing his body she cant sleep and the doctor have said it was very tramatic for her mind to see that... Sp please pray for her... Now yesterday my son was lifting a table and popped something in his back i begged him to go to hospitol which he was to stubborn to do.. Now he cant walk or has no feeling in his legs.. He is at the hospitol now and waiting news as i am at work... More news my step mother who you remember had the hernia surgery last year under went surgery this morning and is not doing so good they cant get her blood pressure stable... Like they say when it rains it pours and hopefully prayers will work ... Thanks, Hugs, Nilla
Heading out the door to find something good to eat for dinner
After being in the kitchen all day preparing food for picnic, I just don't feel like cooking dinner..
BBL
looks like rain at Glacier Bay
Prayers for your family, Nilla
NILLA--
Really sorry to hear of all your family problems. You and yours will surely be in our prayers.
My favorite Biblical quote always works for me: This Too Shall Pass.
God Bless.
Thanks Friends, Got a phone call from sister and she has stablized and doing alittle better but still touch n go and they are watching her carefully... No news on son yet... Daughter is on a very strong medicne for nerves Zanex?? Hopefully it will make her relax... I think we all now the healing power of prayer on this blog as each has helped each other in 1 way or another.. Especialy Sharon in her times of loss... What a great and loving family this blog is...
Well Nilla, I think we were all placed here on this Blog for a reason. Too enjoy each others company and to be there for times when we need spiritual help and prayer. It was no accident that we all came to this place on the computer.
Sure do wish our cam was up so we could be watching Liberty and Belle in action - with sound!
Nilla, the people on this blog have been the biggest blessing for me. I am so grateful!
DON'T SEE THEM, BUT HEAR THE EAGLES UP IN MAINE.....ooops, sorry, didn't know had my caps on.
Nilla - Will keep your family in my thoughts.
Osprey back at BW
Heard then also Mits.. wind is blowing but water is beautiful blue.. Sharon good to see you here and a big ^5 on the cam at NCTC cant wait... I am off work this weekend and hoping to have time to drive over maybe spot Lib N Belle over head or in the nest... Amen to what you said Wanda.. we have shared loss of loved ones.. births of new babies... sickness... weddings... hospitol stays and surgeries... laughs n tears and the whole gamit of emotions... and get togethers with alot of hugs!!!!!! Sharon are you going to make it to open house? I have a place for you to stay... smiles
NILLA-we will certainly pray for all of your family. I think the drug is Xanex. Great for nerves, will help her sleep. Now don't you take on any more problems for yourself, those 3 are enough for you right now. Sure you know what I am talking about. Will keep my ears open. Joey didn't work last night or tonight. Take care of yourself.
Yes Jill i kow exactly what your talking about and NO i am not dont worry... Well seems son has left City Hospitol with a prescript for Percocet and Flexiril.. Because he has some feeling now in his legs when they pressed on his feet.. they didnt so a cat scan or anything but said something about muscels .. BUT if it worsened to get to a ER... Hey Jill thats the good ol docs at City Hospitol huh... Next trip Winchester you can beleive that!!!
ER here in town is not very efficient.
I believe Flexeril is a muscle relaxer. Should do the trick. If he still doesn't have feeling in legs after at least 2 doses, he should go to Winchester.
Nilla - prayer really does the trick!
At least around on this blog we have proof of it! You and your family will certainly be remembered by me.
My favorite: If He Leads You To It
Then He'll Lead You Through It :)
Well, ANNE made it through the Glacier Bay area and is now headed to Ketchikan - Should dock there tomorrow at 10am AK time.(2pm our time) Just may see her on this dock the way the Port cam is set up...
Hey Nilla. Dr. Ellis is good and they just got a couple of new ones. Other than that forget it. Let poor little Zachary sit in the waiting room for 1 hour with a broken arm. Took a kid in with sniffles before him. Then told me I couldn't be sure it was broken. Yeah, that bone trying to push through his skin was perfectly normal. It's a wonder I am even allowed in the ER anymore. Good thing they switch employees faster than my kids need Drs. LOL. Hope your son feels much better by morning.
Nilla-if you are still here go check the jail website. The girl I told you about is in there. Guess she pled guilty.
Oh Jill you have such a wonderful way with words...laughing... He heard something pop in his back when it happened... Now the only way he can walk is with the help of walker , because he can not stand any pressure on his legs... No wonder City is sued out the ying yang!!!
Ok i checked Jill i dont know if thats the one who brought her or not they didnt get out of the car. But that woman named Harrell-Cook looks like a teacher with her glasses..lol Full house this weekend out there i guess...lol
It sort of looks like the one who picked her up there other night but I didn't get a good luck. Definately with her Sunday tho.
Yes Nilla full house. Told me to take it easy, they were starting to stack them up in holding. My answer, start putting bed in the cafeteria cause I am in a bad mood.
Jo do you see something in the water beside the boat? Black i was thinking Porpis or whale???
Hahahahaha and the night is young Jill.. All the weekenders reporting to... Dont see those black things now in the water Jo the water looks so calm...
NILLA--I saw the black object too.
Wouldn't it be exciting if we saw a whale?
There it is again; getting closer to the ship.
I saw the same thing this a.m., now seeing them again.
Just got back on.....which bridge cam sight are you two watching
Yup Wanda but i dont see it any more and the water is so calm .. I was really hoping while they cruised the Bay to see a whale breach or something jump... Its dark over where Iris is been looking at all the other ships at Sea also...
http://www.princess.com/bridgecams/dawn_bridge_cam.html this is what i am watching of course all on 1 line
TAKE NOTICE THE DATE has already changed to tomarrows date on Annes ship cam Sept 15th.. So has the ship cams of Austrailian ships down under...
I wonder if those are Glaciers in the distance....
I cant tell Wanda there are some water drops on the camera lens now and ripples in the water...
time and date have changed because they are going by GMT time and not Alaskan time.
Mits i want you to know i had to google GMT time to see what it was...lol Greenwich Mean Time atleast thats what it said it is???
Hmmm i guess it doesnt get dark up there neither??? but for alittle while?
As a wise woman told me: Anne is only 4 hrs behind our time... it is
almost time for dinner aboard ship!
Maybe even the Capt's table!
NILLA check your email
Sent you a link......
EYEeee EYEeee Captain...
These are 2 sites I have for tomorrow's arrival at the port-you may wish to bookmark
KrooozCan -Ketchikan, AK
EarthCam - Ketchikan AK
I'm sorry, I just assumed everyone knew it was Greenwich time, not sure how that relates to Anne's time, but I believe the wise woman knew that Anne is on Alaskan time:).
Hahaha Thanks Jo now i am more confused than ever... Ann will be back and i will be just s lost as ever... Just Kiddin ..
well i was thinking it is going on 2AM in the morning and she should be in bed sleeping..lol LOL who cares as long as she is safe and sound and having fun... Mits never assume anything when it comes to me ya know that..lol
Jo, I wonder if Anne's ship, will be where that big one was this a.m......Nilla, just think west, she started out in Calif, then went a little west of where she was:).
I am so hoping that they come off right at that pier rather then use the Tender boats...Wouldn't that be great... It is the only port cam I can find for there. lol Just thinking that you and I are maybe the only ones that know what Anne looks like! I guess we could fool everyone about seeing her... but that would not be nice!!!
Don't worry WANDA I would not fool you! Promise!
Is it raining in Martinsburg? Still raining here in Middletown.
I can see Anne now, coming down the gangplank, on the arms of 2 handsome man....she is very nice looking.
I really do like the earth-cam one. I watch there different cams all over the world
Well now Mits i am confused Lord if she left CALI and went to Alaska wouldnt that be going North?? Maybe she got her and i a couple of those mountain men..lol
Jo it is raining here just a little nothing much to speak of ...
Nilla's got wax.
I also like the EarthCam one.Good info all in one place......even the correct time & date! Have you played around with the 3 different tabs above the screen. Now that is cool...
Which one do you watch for the Bridge Cam?
SHE WENT NORTH-WEST:):):)
Just a soft rain is falling, JO.
Wasn't Iris supposed to board her ship today?
Nilla - click on the EarthCam blue link up there in my comment... It's great! Click on 'active' At the bottom is the correct AK time
WHoo HOo!
The Regal Princess is anchored off Moorea,French Polynesis beautiful water and sail boat..
No I haven't, Jo, I'll go look.
Wanda I thought at 3:00 Iris was boarding ship. However; when I look at the bridge cam for the Norwegian Jewell - it is still docked.
That was neat, alot of big ships come in there and dock.
Good evening Ladies, where is the Jewel docked?
Okie Dokie Jo got it... Yup Iris boat is docked and its still dark there...
The way i figure it is these ships move like aconveyer belt just moving from one place to another and one after another on a continues circle? And from what have seen on tv and read the ship pretty much steer themselves...
They don't feel like they move fast and the part I found interesting and Tori disliked is when they tell you the depth beneath you lol
So hopefully tomorrow the Princess Dawn will come in there & dock at
10am AK time (2pm Picnic time for me)
Will you take some pictures.. Icons below cam..I can't figure out how to email image down at the bottom of the cam... and you just can't right click and take a picture...
If you look over to the left and at the Industry section they have a man over board list... Yes and the ships and names of people who have went over board...
Hy Robyn........ I would be like Tori!! lol
her comment was,"I didn't need to know that!"
HAHAHAHAHA NOW THIS IS INTERESTING READING:Notes: While falling from a cruise ship is a rare occurrence, a quick review of the Cruise News archives reveals that:
Males are much more likely to go overboard than females
Carnival passengers (16 incidents) are more likely to go overboard than passengers from other cruise lines...especially passengers on the Carnival Conquest
The average age of a passenger who goes overboard is 40 years
You are most likely to fall overboard on the last night of your cruise
For some reason, people from California and Florida go overboard more than others
Falling overboard does not necessarily mean you will die (8 people have been rescued, one after 18 hours in the water)
Most people who fall overboard are either drunk or doing silly things (climbing on the railing or between cabin balconies)
Nilla I have no clue where you are looking at that list... See anyone's name you know or knew???
OUR CAM STILL IS BLUE
BUT HAS CORRECT DATE & TIME!
Jo on this page:
http://www.cruiseserver.net/travelpage/other/ship_cams.asp
over on left side a list of interesting things
I see that they must have taken the
Carnival Conquest off the seas. No CAM anymore! lol
Nilla, I have no clue as to Iris' itinerary. Can't look up her cruise schedule because once it embarked - it no longer is published. I assume that Glo knows it. The Norwegian line doesn't have the headline on the bridge cam as to where it is or where it is headed.
Let me check i found a place where you can track ships and where they are located at all times.. If only i can remember where it is now..lol
it is somewhere on cruise addicts Nilla
I cant find the site i found .. Well time to head home.. Hope everyone has a great weekend and stay safe...
Yes Robyn i think so check there
... on alist on the left hand side i beleive...
JO--I tried to email you a photo of the Princess Dawn and the black object in the water, but My server won't let me do it. I tried to do it several different ways, but no luck.
Looks like the Jewel is west of Istanbul
I guess we'll learn from Anne as to what it was. I would love for her to have seen a whale!
ok I found that I needed to click on Currently Sailing.. So Iris' ship is docked because the chart says
No one is sailing today.
Here Goes Jo.........
Good Night all my Eagle Buddies
Peace to You and to Yours
Pleasant dreams with peaceful sleep
Prayers being said for all your needs
Tomorrow is Saturday - you can all sleep in a little! It is going to be raining
GMT = international dateline time
Well, I have had enough cruising for today.
GOOD NIGHT LADIES and JIM wherever you are.
Prayers for NILLA and her family.
GOOD NIGHT
Great I finally get home from work and everybody is in bed. OH well.
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE, HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...
WISH IT WAS GOING TO RAIN HERE, EXCEPT THERE'S A H.S. REUNION TOMORROW. I'M GOING IF I CAN SHAKE THIS COLD.
JIM
Actually, Paula, I think GMT means Greenwich (Gren-itch) Mean Time.
Greenwich is a town in England which is on 0° of Longitude, so it is used as a world standard Zero point to calculate regional times from.
Should look both GMT and IDL up in Wikipedia...maybe tomorrow.
The Date Line is out in the middle of the Pacific. When you cross it from the States you go from 11:59:59 PM one day to 00:00:01 AM the next day.
Check it out, I think that's right.
Jim
GOOD MORNING, EAGLE PEOPLE...
I see it has rained at BW, and there is a male Eagle on the nest...looks like half of the pair from last week.
I really want to be sleeping, because if I've kicked my cold enough, I'm going to a H.S. Reunion today down San Diego way...actually at the Del Mar Racetrack/County Fairgrounds.
I'm feeling pretty well now, but I need the rest...of course I've been wide-eyed for at least an hour.
Jim
The eagle has gone and a female Osprey is there now.
Jim
Bai Yun and baby girl are sleeping comfortably side-by-side.
I like the infra red cam better in one way...I can usually pick out which end is which of the bear and which way she's twisted, and I can see the baby faster. Don't know why that is.
The Osprey appears to have some fish in her crop, so she will probably stay a while.
Jim
Good Saurday morning, everyone! Feels like fall out here. Remember to keep your eyes to the sky, with the migration of many birds starting, a wonderful breeze,and a storm in the air. so far today I have seen 3 hawks, and 2 bald eagles flying over my yard. The eagles were very low and appeared to be down by the creek in our development. We watched them dive and soar for 5 minutes before they dsapeared.They were both adults, and were flying together. COOL!!!!
Good Sat morning all. Off for coffee and dog treats soon. Yesterday proved to be one of the most exciting days in my life in more ways than one, MTBR at some point soon I think.
Iris's Ship remains at the dock in Istanbul and now has another ship facing directly at hers. I think we will see movement in one or both of those ships today. I have never been on a cruise. I would imagine it is possible to board a ship and stay docked on board for any period of time that the ship stays there. Unless there is a problem on the ship my guess is last night was spent in the cabin on the ship. the evening was spent eating their food, watching their shows and perhaps seeing videos or some such of all the places they will actualy spend time in the next 14 days. JMHO...My info says she will be in Ephesus tomorrow.
STEVEN HAS A NEW THREAD!!!!----You all come on OVER!!!!
