5 Oktober 2014: @ SEA

Left Quebec yesterday at 06h00 in rainy and windy weather. Took my last photographs of this beautiful city and the autumn leaves flying around on the pier. Was such a privilege to be able to visit this beautiful city. Just can’t imagine that in 2 months’ time this whole city will be covered under a blanket of snow. Saw photographs where people are skating in front of the famous hotel I visited, must be breathtaking in winter.

Enjoyed my supper while we were sailing out of the harbour with an amazing view from deck 12, really awesome. Well last night at about 02h00 in the morning we woke up with noisy crew busy with something right next to our cabin. When we looked out of our porthole we saw a boat right next to our ship and realised it was the pilot boat fetching the pilot. Took him 8 hours to get our ship out to the big ocean where our ships guys, take over.

These guys are good to get such a small boat right next to our huge ship at night and in seas that have a big swell, then the pilot has to step off from our ship down onto the pilot boat, and all this while they are moving, sometimes they use a rope ladder. Wel, dit was woerts warts en daar weg is hulle, sommer net so. It is a passage that we sailed into, to get to Quebec, so maybe that is why it takes so long to get in and out.

Vandag weer see dag en kom more oggend in Sydney aan.Bitter koud buite 11 grade en voorspel more ook maar baie koue weer.Moes vanoggend my plek op die bus bespreek wat my Vrydag lughawe toe sal vat.Sien baie op om vir Liefie agter te los maar nou ja hopelik is hy oor 2 weke ook oppad huis toe,dan is dit weer lughawe toe.Gelukkig bly ons nou n klip gooi van die lughawe af,seker 3/4km ?

An airport is either a place of happiness and excitement or sadness with people having to say goodbye.Ons laai af en groet eerder dadelik want daardie gesit en wag te veel vir my!! Jy leer maar soos jy aangaan ,vat nie veel om my aan die huil te kry nie .Niks kan dan weer vergelyk word met daardie gevoel wanneer die vliegtuig geland het nie en jy kyk en kyk deur daardie ruite om te sien wannneer sien jy daadie bekende lyf,stappie,en glimlag. He is home! No place like home.

Tee en beskuit op die stoep en altwee stoele gevul met sy eienaars!! Hemels.In die begin van die nuwe seisoen in ons lewens het Liefie elke keer n groot WELCOME HOME DADDY poster gekry maar nou is ons lui! en deesdae net baie soene en drukkies. Nou ja tot volgende keer ,mooi bly
