So, here we are, still in Baltimore... We were suppose to leave at 19.00, but there was too much fog, so the last I heard was departure at 23.00. I'm happy though, a couple of extra hours with Internet, but I think I was the only one:-)
Tomorrow we will be in Portsmouth (unless they refuse to let us leave tonight). I've still never been ashore there, but perhaps another time...
The picture is from the Chesapeak/Delaware canal, I took it last summer. That time of year it's really nice being in the canal, sitting on deck. When we were there yesterday it wasn't that exciting though, only cold and this fog again... I'm looking forward to the summer.
So, next post will be from Halifax (I hope so at least) in the beginning of next week.

It's been a while again! No Internet access, what else can I say... Today however we arrived to Baltimore and I started to search for wireless networks. It didn't work in my cabin, so now I am standing at starboard bridge wing, not very comfortable and absolutely no privacy, but who needs that? Not on board a ship anyway. The trip has been very calm so far. No machinery troubles (at least not more than usual) and no scandal parties:-) I think it's going to be a very peaceful Christmas here.
We had a few days on the Atlantic with rough weather, but that's just the way it use to be this time of year. Winter and North Atlantic, it makes you wonder why choosing such a job... But the summer is great.
I will be back in Halifax hopefully, heard that there were quite a few networks there as well. Will try to post some pictures from our trip then as well.
Next port will be Portsmouth on Friday morning.
