Saturday, October 3 We woke up to a deck full of towel critters. I would like some of my birding friends to identify these birds. 🙂 Our last day of concerts: Sharon Bethel Quartet (Quintet on this trip) and their wives. The Stutzmans Becky – from Times to Remember Travel – giving us some final instructions […]

Thursday, October 1 This was the day that we looked forward to stopping in Halifax, Nova Scotia. However the weather changed our plans. The rain was fairly heavy in the early morning. It was about this time (7:30 AM) we learned that the seas were too rough and the winds too strong to pull into Halifax. Even though […]
Wednesday, September 30 – A Day At Sea The seas were a bit rough today. It didn’t bother either of us, but we learned later that some were sick. Since I was up early, I went to the Spectacular Lounge to check it out and saw Eduard Klassen’s harp on the stage. This was our […]
Tuesday, September 29 – Portland, Maine This is how we got our coffee – and sometimes Danish – in our room each morning about 6 AM. Our schedule said that we would be arriving in Portland about 8:00 AM – and we were. The wording showed up a bit better during a hazy morning than yesterday when […]

We love you! Daddy & Mother

Saturday Evening, October 3 This was our final full group meeting.Each of the artists were on stage singing old familiar songs, often asking the audience of 430 people (those who booked with Sail & Sing Christian Cruise) to join them. Songs like “I Will Meet You In The Morning” and “God Be With You ‘Til We Meet Again.”
Friday, October 2 After an interesting day of touring Saint John, New Brunswick, it was amazing to watch this very large Royal Caribbean cruise ship do a complete turn-around in the Bay of Fundy – right next to our very large cruise ship.
Thursday, October 1 Because we could not pull into port today in Halifax, Nova Scotia, due to the wind and rain, Sing & Sail Christian Cruise added an extra program this afternoon. This was part of the planned program before supper when these five men sang about Old McDonald’s Disabled Farm. I was laughing so hard […]
Wednesday, September 30 What a great way to cruise on a rainy day at sea – spending it with our group of 430 people on the Sail & Sing Christian Cruise – listening to fabulous gospel music and comedy.
Tuesday, September 29 Because our port was Portland, Maine, we made plans to spend the day with our daughter Diane. It was delightful! Thanks, Diane, we loved being with you.
Monday, September 28 Seeing Boston from a Duck. I took this picture from our duck as another one passed us.
