The North Atlantic I took a few photos but they pretty much all looked like this. The seas calmed somewhat from overnight but was still a little rough by our standards (terra firma) walking around exploring the ship was a great way to pass the time.
Céline however found solace in a bottle of Gravol, no so much for motion sickness as it was to knock her out. On refection I think her way might of been better. Shayna, 6 decks below us was doing fine and chose not to relieve herself on a ships deck any of the times I took her out to walk around. She held out okay for the 6 hour trip over but the 14 hours this time was too much, she left one minor mess on a blanket. Zzzzzz
MV Joseph and Clara Smallwood
After being pushed off the ship to an awaiting tow truck were were back on solid ground.
I had forgotten my keys in the ignition with the ignition on (engine off) and not only did the vans
battery die but a wire from the starter relay was fried. Lucky for us we got to a good mechanic
who only charged us 20 bucks for rerigging the wire and 80 dollars for a new battery.
(Ours wouldn't hold a charge) 90 minutes after coming ashore we were on our way homeward.
We slept at Tim's in Moncton NB. 6 and a half hours later.
