Now for something completely different

[buchhalm]

Ok. Now REALLY for something completely different:

We have a MG car and are arguing about the female voice of the GPS.

DW is adamant it is Sandra Sully. 

Google does help.

Any ideas??

[Docker123]

The voice on a bunch of those devices is Karen Jacobsen.

News reports of the big sperm whale skull being stolen from Killer Whale Museum at Eden. Many cruisers go there on Eden Port stops. I hope ship security are checking pax for the said skull. Would not be a Princess Cruiser !

Hey we had our first cruise ship stop in our town today. Sapphire Princess kicked the season off with a full day visit, she is scheduled to be here until 2300 hrs.

I bet that caused some excitement. April is too early for Alaska.  May is good before all the tourists!

Great stuff, plenty of time for seeing Victoria  as well as Buchart Gardens

When we did the Alaskan cruise in 2006, it was in May, ice around and few ships.

I just looked at her itinerary and there is a 23 day gap from this one to the next cruise, I wonder if she is going to refit. We certainly have the facilities here to do it. I'll have a look in a few days and see if she's at the shipyard.

That sounds very likely, Lisle

We did it in May, of 2004.  Our NCL ship was first in to a few Alaskan ports for that season.  Sadly, had to turn back in Tracy Arm before seeing the glacier.  Too many icebergs and too dangerous.  Still so many wonderful memories, though.

We were on the last cruise of the year on Diamond Princess in 2012, late September. Beautiful weather.

You were lucky. We met Europeans who

Were returning their rented mobile home early and flying home.  We were on a ferry so more comfortable with the weather. Pros all ports were having fabulous sales. Taxi Driver told me most people go home after the Season finishes.

Thanks Lyndon, I'll have a look at a calendar and see what we can do. We don't want to get in the way of any planned adventures you may have. We would probably catch an early ferry on the 16th and overnight in Vancouver. It would be fun to meet in person.

It was time to feed my German side.

Almost Les. Octoberfest sausage, sauerkraut and hashbrowns. That mustard was a spur of the moment choice and it is quite good. I wish I could remember where I got it. I washed it down with the house beer, a very nice Canadian brew called Sleeman's Honey Brown.

Happy, Happy Birthday, Les.  We’re all thinking if you, and wishing you the happiest of days, particularly this evening’s family dinner gathering

Thanks Linda, 75 today, just come back from a bone density test. Looking forward to dinner, but will it be as good as Donegans? Shea was excellent on the grill.🥩

Happy birthday, Les.😘

 

 My first thought after having a bone density scan some years ago was "now I know what a piece of paper feels like in a photocopier!" 🤣🤣🤣
