Father’s Day in Halifax

Halifax

Still in Halifax and most probably will be here for the next few days.  We’ve been watching a system develop off-shore and last night it came ashore as a pretty fair n’or easter; driving rain, gusts 35 – 40 kts and all in all a good time to be out of harm’s way.  Thursday night Ulli and Sefton flew in on two separate carriers and both airlines managed to lose their bags.  The bags arrived just yesterday and none were more relived than Ulli (and me) as his was the bag that held all the audio gear.  From what Clinton’s been pulling up on the weather charts it seems this low will be lurking for the next few days with the strongest part of the system coming in this afternoon. We’re going to move Bagan to an inside wall here at the marina, button up and hunker down. This will give me a good and uninterrupted chance to final organize and assemble my edit gear, something I haven’t been able to get to for the last month.  Or… seeing as it’s Father’s Day I just may head back to my bunk, hang a sign on the door that reads “Gone Fishin’” and settle in with a good book.

OK, so no one paid any attention to the sign on my cabin door which read “Gone Fishin’ ”.  In fact, Dominique, Sefton and Clinton cooked me an amazing steak dinner and then then took me out to see “The Taking of Pelham 123”. Far better than fishin’ any day!  Hands down one of the best Father’s Day I’ve ever had!
