Planes n boats n whales.

Our oldest granddaughter left for flying school today. An exciting time, at the same time a little sad.
We had what turned out to be a hugging circle at the plane, except for the youngest grandson who did his usual shy shtick, but he was run down and had to kiss his sister.
Who knows, in a couple of years instead of hugging her we will be handing her our luggage, part of the right of passage for second officers up this way.

While waiting for the plane the Aurora Magnetica set sail for Iqaluit. She had been docked here since Tuesday. We were asked aboard for a cupa Tuesday evening.
Pascale said they are going non stop to Iqaluit, about three days sailing.
If Towniebarstard sees a red craft sitting on the mud flats he might like go and have a chat to the crew. They spent a bit of time in St. John’s and around the Island before heading north.

Pascale, Pierre and guests.
Galley with engine room wall at left.

The vessel is very nicely laid out; galley while narrow is well equipped. They have two heating systems on board plus an oil cook stove with oven that has not been used yet, soon will though.
