The port pilot couldn’t get on the ship in the normal way via a tug boat because the water was so choppy. He arrived via helicopter instead. The helicopter couldn’t land because it was too windy so they lowered a harness and pulled him up. It was a very noisy process.

ReplyDeleteOh m,y goodness. All such amazing sights sounds and tastes! So much learning and all new sights. You will be a walking encyclopedia. Rich and Kathy left this morning and will be back sometime in June or July. The twins will be coming too and will perform here in the theater one evening. Thet did a concert here twice before and so many friends here keep asking me when are they coming back, so I guess they are a hit. Of course I believe so too. Paul and his girlfriend were here Sat evening. The first time I had met Patience. They have now moved to Lakeland and live very near Shawn. Last evening Shawn came and brought his new girlfriend, Missy, along to meet us all. Both girls seem very nice and friendly. Now I am quite tired, but Sarah is picking me up soon to go for my every other weel;y shot. Then tomorrow I have an appt. to see a new Dr. A Cardiologist. Just a checkout.
