Day 44 - Tuesday - 5/09/17 - At sea to Vancouver

Our final day at sea arrived and I woke up early to enjoy it.  We'll be sailing out in the open ocean all day until we reach near Port Hardy when we'll enter the protected waters between the mainland of British Columbia and Vancouver Island.  So far it's been quite smooth with only a a gentle rolling motion to the Volendam.

After leading the final interdenominational morning devotional time we participated in the BBC trivia contest scoring only 10 out of 28 possible points.  17 was the winning score.  Harry Strong then gave a nice presentation on Tsunamis.  Our final lunch was Asian fare and quite tasty.

Following lunch, Terry Greenberg gave a great presentation on the coastal First Nation people.  He was followed by Andy Fletcher who gave his concluding presentation on Life and the Meaning of Everything.  It really tied everything hung together.  

We enjoyed our last dinner in the Lido after watching the channel south of Port Hardy.  Later on I was in the Crow's Nest and saw part of a humpback whale breech as we passed through a narrow passageway between two islands.  Because the evening entertainment (Savannah Jack) was so popular, I staked out a seat early.  Both shows were high energy and very well attended.  I finished packing and had our luggage out before midnight.  

We're docked in Vancouver waiting for our disembarkation color to be called.  I'll do a last post after we get hone later today.  I hope you've enjoyed following along.
