Start of trip 2

We left St. John for Charlottown, PEI arount 11 am today. We had quite a few delays with cargo. The supreme gas we were supposed to load was on another ship who missed the tide (ships can only leave at high tide, once every 12 hours). But we had a good time here. We tested the life boat and zodiac rescue boat yesterday. It felt food to be off the big ship and just scoot around in the harbour as fast as I wanted. We currently have the Charlottown harbour pilot on board because there is ice there and the pilot boat can't go out. So thats nice for us because rigging pilot ladders is a pain.

It takes about two and a half days to get to PEI. Hopefully I can do another post en route. If not, then this weekend!
