What I wouldn't give to be there taking photos for you guys!

I don't think I'll see much from Wales though.

Some of the comments indicate that the stage has moved closer to the edge of the ASDS than we would have thought based on the landing video.

Port Canaveral WebCam site appears to be snubbing us this time.

Certainly appears to have the straps holding it to the deck - and although they're not visible against the background, would assume the jack stands are there also.

Oh, but watching Carnival Victory sit there doing nothing is sooo much more interesting!

Just coming into view on the person's live stream on the Periscope app.

Alicia Murphy @murphypak is streaming the arrival from shore on Periscope. https://www.periscope.tv/murphypak/1mnxewvrldQGX

Unfortunately it's not as good quality as the live web cam sites, but it is still a rocket stage on a boat

Another view

That was pure mean!
Falcon started to cross in front of Port Canaveral webcam and they deliberately moved off the shot.
Now (12:20) it looks to be skewed in entirely the opposite end just to avoid the SpaceX activity. Why so spiteful?

Thanks Marek!

Look at all those chains and the "L"-shaped anchors welded to the deck!!!

Edit : You can also see some data cables running up to the booster laying along the deck in the background with little black sandbags holding them down. I wonder what they are recording or monitoring?
