The final 24

Today the ship was busy, bee hive of activity. Many last details to be ready for our arrival and to show off all we have done. Our welcome team will be waiting dockside to greet us. I mean I guess it’s pretty damn exciting when you have leased a real life ship!

I photographed all the crew and made a new crew photo board. This was the last item on my checklist!

The food situation is kinda crazy. We found out from Transport Canada that we have to get rid of everything fresh, meat and dairy products. This was not known when provisioning was done so we are all doing our best to eat up! Int’l ships are complicated!

Tonight Captain Stephan gave us a tour of the engine room (2 floors below deck) and passionately “taught” us a lot about ship engines and steering that we will likely not remember let alone use! Again, never say never.

Fog was heavy tonight so for a period we had the fog horn blasting every two minutes.

We planned to have a fun last evening with our 5 girl crew in “The Knot” wish I had better internet to show you the final space. We ran out of wine, had the secret key and spent far too long in the bowels of the ship searching for it!

Tmrw morning at 6:30am the St. John’s Pilot will be boated to us about 5 miles out and a rope latter will be extended, he will climb aboard and will steer us into the port. Several colleagues will be waiting and we have a wee Sea Shanty and some costumes ready for them! Work hard, play hard!

Last night of a fabulous and unexpected adventure!
