Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia...

Well, I checked the weather forecast last night and it called for rain all day, 100% chance…  Based on that information, I didn’t set an alarm for the sail into Sydney Nova Scotia.  As luck would have it, I awoke early this morning, turned on the television and it wasn’t raining.  I got dressed, grabbed the camera and headed out….  What I found was heavy fog with some sprinkles of rain thrown in.  I did the best I could and when we docked, I wasn’t sure I would go into Sydney and fight the elements but, alas, I found myself hurrying off first thing….  I wasn’t sure what my gameplan was but I started heading down the boardwalk along the water and then headed into town.  Meander was the best way to descried what I ended up doing…  I went from one interesting statue to an interesting building to street art, whatever came next.  In the end, I ended up soaked to the bone, headed back to the ship for some warmth and a fresh set of dry clothes…  I spent the remainder of the day working on photos, visiting with Mike & Pauline and jumping up every time the sun appeared to be out, grabbing the camera only to discover it was a false alarm, in fact it was still raining.  It was a pleasant day aboard the Zaandam, loving the outstand service.  Conditions seem to have improved when we made our departure so I headed out to snap photos as we sailed away…  At the beginning of this voyage, I set me expectations very low because of the effects of hurricane Lee.  That was a very good strategy because it has all be upside so far…  Loving every day!!!
