Day 34 At Sea

Well ….things are winding down. This morning we were scheduled to go to St. Pierre & Miquelon but it was not to be. Due to weather conditions and lack of a pilot (boat broken) the Captain made the correct decision to keep the vessel and passengers safe and bypass the port. All was not lost however since the dense fog lifted and brought forth a spectacular day filled with sun. This was long overdue…. As we wind down it’s a good time to reflect on this Voyage of the Vikings… The Captain, Hotel Manager and crew should be very proud. They put on a great voyage. Were there bumps along the way? Sure there were but they didn’t take away from a fabulous adventure. I know HAL doesn’t like it when I make criticisms on the blog but they can’t say that I am dishonest about whatever the item is. If they look closely at why most of them get there in the first place it is generally because someone on the ship has waived off my issue or concern. I don’t deal well with getting blown off….. Most issues never see the light of day…. Again, the voyage has been excellent and the crew deserves congratulations. I strongly recommend this voyage to anyone who is looking for something out of the ordinary on a ship that provides great service. We visited some very interesting ports and Greenland was a definite highlight for me. I hope Holland America will add Narssarssuaq, Greenland as a port on one of their future sailings so I can get to the actual site of my birthplace. Yes, I would do this voyage again even though the weather is not exactly my cup on tea. But most people aren’t as ridiculous as me when it comes to sun worshiping…. Tomorrow is our last day at sea and I hope it’s a good one. Boston looks a little troublesome for flying out Saturday. Hurricane Danny, the President coming to town and Senator Kennedy’s funeral…. Could be a problem…….
