ON OUR WAY

We tried to familiarize ourselves with the ship and were entertained by a hopping happy little boy who couldn’t wait to get into the pool for a swim.  Colton is so excited and happy, it is impossible not to feel his enthusiasm.  Soon he and his mom and dad ventured into the pool to have a splash around and then a lovely soak in the hot tub – all this before we even left Vancouver!


Nadine’s friend was up on the Lion’s Gate Bridge to take a photo of the waving family – plus Sandra and I as we sailed beneath.  It wasn’t the clearest photo, but a neat to try!

After we dinner, Colton was anxious to get to kid’s club to begin his own adventure.  He is really loving the time spent there.  Often he is the only one in attendance and has the full attention of both crew members in charge.  Matt and Sarah are enjoying this freedom also and we were able to enjoy playing at the blackjack table together. 

It was a good day and now we have tomorrow to look forward to.  An at sea day and the start of the Inside Passage.  We through the day with a bit of sun and clouds so our wish for some more days like this will be what we are thinking about.

Getting ready for bed and still excited about the beginning of our journey, I managed to put Polysporin on my toothbrush instead of toothpaste.  Sigh** Fortunately I realized before I actually put it in my mouth, but not before I squeezed the tube!  Now the Polysporin is on another shelf far away from my toothpaste – so I can grab correctly next time - and with that…day 1 is a wrap.

Sounds like you are off to a good start. Colton will keep everyone on their toes. Every day will be a new adventure. Were the blackjack tables good to you?

Polysporin toothpaste - may become a fad. That way when you bite someone the wound will stay clean.

It does sound like a great start and the weather seems to be cooperating from our end. I hope it stays ‘normal’ although I remember. that huge signboard on one of the harbours that showed how much rain falls at that spot. Scary!

Hugs to you all,

Brian
