The Daily for Thursday August 05, 2021

Hate to hear this.

[Horizon chaser 1957]

Good afternoon, all! A salute to underwear, the foundation of all things. I love oysters but haven’t had any for a while. The meal sounds good, but the recipe page says I have to be a member to read it, so back to oysters we go! I am familiar with, and a fan of, today’s wine. I am not familiar with today’s port, and appreciate the pictures.

Our niece came over yesterday evening to stay the night and visit for the day. We had a great visit, and she just left to join our nephew (her DH) on the mainland.

I now have a new load of apricots in the dehydrator, after a successful first load. @StLouisCruisers I’m so sorry your missing the graduation, but taking the high road is the best course of action. @smitty34877 there is no such thing as too,any pictures of Miss Camilla! I’m so sorry Tana is back in the hospital again, and no visitors allowed.

Happy Thursday, especially to @aliaschief about to sail off aboard a BHB!

How awful about the flight that seems to have gone down.  For me, it brings back the horrifying memory of DD's boyfriend who was killed in Alaska, flying out of Juneau in a small plane.  It took days to find him and his passenger (this was not during cruise season).

Oh no, no, no. Prayers that they are found safe.

On another thread it has been reported that a signal has been detected at 1400 feet and a search party is on the way.

I haven’t had much time to get to the Daily for a while.  We arrived in Seattle on Monday afternoon and have been enjoying our days with our son and family.  Our daughter and son-in-law arrived last night.  Our 60th Anniversary is today, and will celebrate in our son’s backyard, with the addition of our nephew and his wife! The weather is perfect. Hoping all works out for our cruise on Saturday.  So far, we’ll still be onboard.

 

Congratulations on your 60th Anniversary.

  So sad to read of this tragedy, thank you for the link.

Very, very sad.    Awful for the families involved and a difficult start up for HAL.

Thank you! That works, and sounds delicious.

The captain just announced that HAL shore side team will help the families make arrangements.  We will be leaving shortly.   We are expected to arrive in Seattle on schedule.

Good evening everyone. Today was a long day. DM had two doctor appointments and we went to lunch afterward and I didn’t get home until 2:30. I haven’t read the Daily yet. 
 

I just started reading CC and saw the sad news about the plane in Ketchikan. Very sad.

Just heartbreaking.  I can’t begin to imagine the vibe onboard. 
 

Smooth Sailing.

Thanks for the daily news, and photos of the today's port.

Rich, thank you for mentioning a New Zealand wine, usually order the Cloudy Bay when on board a BHB.  Sorry you have cancelled your cruise.

A well trained sheep dog is a very hard worker, an asset for the farmer.

@aliaschiefgreat upgrade, enjoy the Neptune.  

@ger_77hope your friend is doing well after the surgery.

@cunnorlCongratulations on your 43rd Anniversary.

@mamaofamisuch good news of Sam.

@NextOne sorry to read of the problem with your DDIL Best wishes for quick treatment.

Stay safe, take care everyone.

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc - New Zealand

All released vintages of this wine have excellent ratings. In fact the 2019 and 2020 vintages are so neck & neck rating and price wise - pick up the one you find locally. You might even find it for less than the $23.97 price ai found on line. I have had this lovely wine, and I may even have a bottle in my “cellar”.  I chose the 2019 vintage for the reviews, because that came up first. 

This is on tonight’s Gala dinner on my Navigator App. Since our cruise is so soon the daily MDR menu shows. But I’ll have to pay for it, it’s over the SBP price.

After all theses months of waiting to be at sea… my heart aches.
