Hi Ray and Penny - I read on your blog last night that you had arrived and was so happy to see that all the rain hadn't delayed you. Sounds like you are off to a great start! Let the good times begin. :bv:

Ray and Penny,along with reading my 4 papers each morning I shall also be reading your blog. Maybe if my Ray reads it he will think about those magic letters "WC" and I don't mean wayside chappel or water closet. Enjoy your dinner tonight and the start of your adventure.

Here is a good zoomable cam where we can watch Ray and Penny when they go under the Golden Gate bridge :)

Fasten your seatbelts, looks like a bumpy ride :eek: Weather reports are not favorable for sailing. Send us some news Ray.

Karen,
Thanks for posting that link! I remember you and I both trying to control the cam at the same time a few years ago when Margo was sailing away!

Suzanne, didn't we have a much larger cam back then? I remember one that we used that we could really zoom in on the ship. This cam looks much smaller.

Hey Karen & Suzanne:
Where should we position ourselves on the ship during sailway? I'll be in a red fleece and Penny will be in a black fleece and we both have gray hair.
We hope to be with Caroline and Ron who just started posting on this board.
More later. I'm multitasking at the moment, thank you very much :>)
Cheers! Ray & Penny

The skies have cleared, for the moment anyway. More rain is due tomorrow, but, maybe it will be like this again in 24 hours! Karen, I don't remember being able to zoom in close enough to identify anyone, just basically the ship. Here's another one, but it doesn't zoom at all. it is from the Fairmont where Ray and Penny are staying. Maybe they could go find it and dangle themselves in front of it :D CBS Fairmont Bay cam

It's the angle of the dangle that's important but I don't see a good dangle point.
Perhaps I could run out from the gala every so often and flay my arms about. Would that work?
Cheers! Ray

Hi Olivia: Cocktails from 6:30-7:30 and we will probably show up at 7pm in order to give the repeaters uninterrupted reunion hugs and kisses.
Dinner starts at 7:30pm. Am uploading venues next where we'll be. Before, during, and after photos I hope on Smugmug :>)
Cheers! Ray & Penny

Ray and Penny....Wow, CA is really getting some hurricane force winds along with that rain so I sure hope sail away goes well. Just keep thinking about all of that warm sunny weather waiting for you in Hawaii.

Looks like a fun party last night. Too bad you didn't get a close up of the new 20 carat bling - but you have 4 months to capture it.
Great photo of you and Penny. How happy can 2 people look - but then you have a 4 month fabulous cruise ahead of you.
Hope to watch as you sail under the bridge later today.

This is fun, you can see where Ray and Penny's ride is docked! Hover your mouse over the arrows on the map, the yellow ones are passenger ships. http://www.boatingsf.com/ais_map.php

I just realized that I'm going to be on Maui--and staying not far from where the ship is docking--when the WC arrives there. How funny!

The Voyager is finally underway!
I can see her little yellow "arrow" moving on the map Karen posted above.
Unfortunately it is dark here, so I don't know how much we will be able to see on the web-cam as she sails under the Golden Gate. Ray and Penny should have a stunning view of the evening City skyline though!
Editing to say she is going under the bridge right now 5:42 local time!

That "voyeur" was something else.Remind me to close my drapes. We must have been driving him nuts going back all the time to just a water scene . But wasn't the ship purty?
