Did anyone see the Viking Octantis this morning?
Re: Did anyone see the Viking Octantis this morning?
I missed my opportunity last week on Tuesday when they were up on the St. Clair River for the first time. Last Tuesday though, the weather then was lousy and horrible with rain and fog both. There was absolutely no way I was going to take my chances trying to drive out there and back to see them and get caught in the rain and fog. Good thing I stayed home and saw them on the web cameras. The visibility was almost down to zero at times on the cameras then. Hopefully I’ll get lucky and see them on the St. Clair River someday and soon. Can’t wait to see this beauty on the river someday!

Did anyone see the awesome Viking Octantis, a nearly new polar cruise expeditionary ship, this morning on the Dossin Detroit River webcam, downbound about 0430h CST, 20220511? She's going to be one to watch for.
All I can say is WOW! A fantastic vessel, it even carries two submarines in a giant aft berthing bay.
After it's initial Antarctic cruise in January, it made for the Great Lakes, which will be one of it's main nav areas. It ran a cruise out of Milwaukee last week[?], and is bound for where now?
In looking at the Viking Octantis' cruise schedule I noticed that this big ship is going to make port calls at tiny Killarney Ontario.
Holy octopii! I used to take my oldest kids for vacations to Killarney, back in the '70s.
Any of y'all been to Killarney? The Killarney Provincial Park with the La Cloche mountains was an amazing place fifty years ago [the only road in was quite new]. We have kinfolk there and my aunt spent much time there in the '40-60s.
