Seems to me like Stig has been a bit lost since his navigation officer has not posted here in a few days.

Agree.  Fun to follow up on, and guess on the routes.   I totally agree with Jim...I think this is what he is looking at?  Seems like a very interesting route...with hopefully less rock and roll and more to see on both port and starboard side.  🥰

He found this Ferry Route on his phone mapper.

LOL...yup, along with all the other new ideas of what to bring the next time.  I think I need another suitcase.  😄 

Over on the Celebrity forum someone was asking about bringing a sewing machine onboard. One poster claims some have. Unbelievable. Just when I thought I had heard it all here on CC. 🤣

But they may be there sooner rather than later.

No doubt. And a good way to supplement your retirement while on the UWC.  😂

Oh dear...from the looks of it, we may be headed out to open sea again, versus that interesting looking channel...unless he turns east again.  If so, must be not able to do the channel?  Drats.  😳

Yup, some weeks from now.  😉   Though Bucky and I are "jumping ship" in LA...there are 600 plus hearty cruisers that will be visiting China much later on, after checking out the area "down under".

Could put out a ship wide ad for seamstress work.  With all the clothing mysteriously shrinking...probably a good idea for making new ones.  😄

Yep!  Not taking the Ferry Route!  Too bad, it looked cool with two lighthouses, some whales, and a few volcanos!  Fastening my seatbelt now!  LOL!  Back to speculating and suspense!  🤔

Yup, hello open Pacific.  Did you get some seatbelts for the bed to stop from rolling off over night?  😉 

Guessing they kept the "barf bags" on the stairwells in preparation.  🤢😉

Or attempt to cruise with.

 

According to the person the one she wants to haul with her is a 1937 Singer Featherweight. Not a little hand held. One of the strangest carryons I've read here on CC. And there's been some weirds ones asked about. And people laugh when I say I pack duct(k) tape. 😂

Today was the DH’s last day.  In a couple of hours he’s officially retired!!!

Just under 3 months for us. Seems like forever. 😂

 

Congrats! 😁

Absolutely! Thank you for that perspective. I’m working 12 hour days all this month and am 😵‍💫.  Your words of encouragement made me smile. 😁

[Ocean Boy]

Retirement scares me. I do what I had wanted from when I was a little kid. I don't know how I'd give it up.
