Where should we go
Living this close to the ocean my urge to fly is minimal. In sharp contrast I think that a ferry boat might be one of the best inventions of mankind. I mean assuming that I decide to travel. I do less of that now. There are a few trips that intrigue me. Particularly a vessel known as the cat with a capital C. The vessel was built as a military transport and then loaned to one of our ferry services. Actually the only thing keeping me from going for a quick journey is that this is an international ferry and I don’t have any particular reason to visit the other side. Been there and done it. I wonder if they would loan the vessel to a pair of Canadian ports just to give me a reason to come on board. I understand that there are some issues pertaining to the size of our RV but that can be sorted out in good time. Meanwhile we have another vessel that travels by our house twice a day. I did go on earlier iterations of the vessel but this one is new and probably still has that fresh boat smell. Not the nasty kind. The summer is far from over and we might just go for a weekend away. All to be determined in good time. While I wait here on shore I can watch the lights from my kitchen window and dream a little bit. From what I have read there are other new vessels that make it to this province. The mechanical issues seem to be done and the chances of being trapped on board for days and days are the stuff of legends not news. I will leave the idea floating around the house much like a boat and see where we end up. As for airplanes do not hold your breath. By my calculation the places where airplanes go to wait are less than comfortable and there is always the chance of a catastrophic failure.
