rafinmd Posted October 2, 2020 #526 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Today's sunrise is from my 2017 MS Amsterdam Grand Asia voyage (San Diego to Hong Kong). It appears to have been a bit overcast on October 2. Roy 4 Link to post Share on other sites
rafinmd Posted October 3, 2020 #527 Share Posted October 3, 2020 For sunrise today I am going back to my 2012 Canadian Maritimes cruise. On October 3 we visited Ile de La Madeline. Roy 5 Link to post Share on other sites
rafinmd Posted October 4, 2020 #528 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I have only one sunrise that is not cruise related. My first attempt to circle the globe was inn 2003. I crossed the Atlantic on a freighter, made some rail-ferry connections to Helsinki, and took the trans-Siberian railway to Beijing. As I left my Moscow Hotel I got word that my trans-Pacific cruise on the Crystal Harmony had been cancelled due to SARS. I had to fly back to North America, leaving me with an extra month of vacation time. I used that time for a tour of Australia and New Zealand that fall. Since I hate to fly, especially overnight, I booked a sequence of day flights (Auckland/Honolulu, rest day, Honolulu/SF, and SF/Baltimore). On October 4, 2003, I watched the sun come up over Waikiki Beach: Roy 5 Link to post Share on other sites

rafinmd Posted October 6, 2020 #531 Share Posted October 6, 2020 In October 2011 I started one of my stranger combinations. I set sail October 1 through the Erie Canal on a Blount Small Ship Adventures from New York to Montreal (well most of it; floods had damaged a section of the canal and Blount was lucky enough to have a ship on each side of the break), then boarded the Crystal Symphony to take the ocean route back to New York. October 6 was the day we had the bus bridge between ships and the sun came up very nicely over Little Falls, New York: Roy 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Camillus112 Posted October 6, 2020 #533 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Hi Roy, I submitted an earlier message that might have been left in the bin. I commend you for your exciting trips which we all get to enjoy. I just wanted to say that I live in a neighborhood near the halfway mark of the New York State Erie Canal and was pleased to read that you traversed part of it. It has an outstanding history, especially meeting commercial needs along its vast area. DH, our dear pandemic puppy, and I walk the trails at least twice a week and enjoy the beautiful landscapes. BTW, I learned that we disembarked with you early March from the Serenity, sorry we did not meet!!. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, I learned that we disembarked with you early March from the Serenity, sorry we did not meet!!. I can relate to that. I grew up about a mile north of Hancock Airport and have great memories of the area. I used to watch the barges go through the locks west of Brewerton and my swimming spots were Oneida Lake and Green Lake. I became infatuated with the canal due to a scout leader who led a canoe trip on one of the feeder canals to the main Erie Canal. His enthusiasm was infectious and he had actually been on the canal as a boy. Roy Roy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We moved to this area upon retirement and enjoy all the natural wonders around us. We do miss our beautiful island and our Caribbean Sea!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
rafinmd Posted October 7, 2020 #536 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Today's sunrise photo is the last from my 2012 Crystal Symphony Canadian Maritimes Cruise. It was taken shortly after we docked in Montreal. Roy 5 Link to post Share on other sites
rafinmd Posted October 8, 2020 #537 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Today's sunrise photo brings back great memories. It's from my 2011 Blount/Crystal Montreal Circle. On October 8 we were in Central New York and started out very early from Sylvan Beach crossing Oneida Lake to Oswego, NY and the St. Lawrence Seaway. The sun came up at the west end of Oneida Lake, just a stones throw from an island where we had my high school graduation party. Roy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
rafinmd Posted October 9, 2020 #538 Share Posted October 9, 2020 It will be sunsets rather than sunrises for the next couple of days. On October 8, 2017 the MS Amsterdam crossed the International dateline. While it was officially October 8 ship's time, I figure by then actual local time was October 9.
