Beth, click on the ship tracker tab on the webcam site and it shows the Navigator as docked already. I wonder where, lol

The cam is for docks 21 & 22 and the Navigator is at dock 23 which doesn't have a cam. Maybe she'll sail past one of the cams on departure.

It was a fun stalk! Thanks to jbittle for the info and idea.

Alice and I did Halifax and PEI two years ago on a long July 4th weekend . The photos from the CANADAers have been so great and brought back memories of our trip.

I'm sorry to say that a lot of rain and a couple of very windy days have knocked down lots of leaves in the Boston area. But I think the weather will improve for Friday when you arrive in Gloucester. So, I think any of you walking the Freedom Trail in Boston should have a nice day for it.

Kim, Excellent stalk job. I was watching various Halifax cams with you as the Navigator left port. It was fun to watch her. Though I caught her on two cams, the vision area was small. Hope all the CANADiAns enjoyed Halifax.

Did the Peggy's Cove crowd eat any warm gingerbread? What was your favorite topping? Great photos at the lighthouse. Everyone's hair was so in place!! When we were there I remember it to have been quite windy.

This AM you enjoy a sleep in with a morning at sea. Who's having a lobster roll for lunch in Bar Harbor? Don't miss them.

Thanks Beth! I was watching that other webcam showing the harbor entrance, but it froze up for awhile and I missed getting a good picture with all of the ship visible. Oh well.

I just got home (almost 13 hours earlier than normal on Thursday --- woo hoo!)and noticed there are still quiet a lot of leaves. My flight from DCA would have landed 15 minutes earlier, but our clearance to land was cancelled because a big MSC ship was in the way. There are 3 ships in Boston Harbor today (RCCL and Princess also). Tomorrow will be much better weather for the CANADiAns to enjoy Boston.

Kim, you're doing a terrific job of stalking us. It is gray outside but not raining at the moment. We're getting ready to go on deck 7 to clear USA immigrations than MANY of us are going on Acadia Park excursion at 1:30. The weather isn't slowing any of us down and thank goodness we had such a nice day yesterday in Peggy's cove. Fingers crossed that the sun will peek out later today. Beth, yes we did have the delish gingerbread yesterday...I had it with whipped cream. YUM ! We even brought a piece back to JoAnn with lemon cream sauce.

Tom & Ken are doing such a great job of posting photos. I don't know if there's any hockey fans reading this but a former NY Ranger, Hall of Fame, player, from 50's & 60's is on board - Harry Howell. Tom followed him for years and big fan. We're having dinner with him and his sweet wife in a couple of days so that will be fun.

Last night was Ray Solaire's show...OUTSTANDING ! We just love seeing him perform and he'll have 1 more pre-dinner show before the cruise is over. After the show we had 2 LCT teams for "Name That Tune" in Stars Lounge...our team of 6 tied for 1st and got tokens.

Off to clear immigrations....

Marcie, Glad you liked the gingerbread in Peggy's Cove. It is memorable!

Maybe some of you can try to gather somewhere around the Geggy's webcam so we can get a shot of you later today? Would love to see you all!!

Well it has been mostly foggy, rainy, but not too cold in Bar Harbor today. We just got off, walked around, found a place for a lobster roll and fish and chips, bought a few things for the grandkids and headed back. Only Frank, Ngaire and me for trivia so we split up and filled in on other teams. Our two teams tied at 14.

Fun dinner last night with Tom and Marcie and our friends Jack and Laura and then of course Ray's show, very good and he is very talented.

I hope those on the Acadia park excursions today got to see something other than miles of fog. TomG said this morning that there would be sun between 4 and 5pm and by gosh there was. Juar looking out our balcony now and the water is a bit choppy, watched a tender go by and it was rocking and when we came back it was quite interesting getting off the tender. It has been very rocky the last two nights, hope tonight will be less so.

Yesterday since we had already done a Peggy's Cover excursion previously, I told everyone how much I loved the gingerbread with lemon sauce and I ended up being the recipient of two bags with gingerbread and lemon sauce, which I immediately stuffed into my mouth. Should have done the treadmill today, sigh............ It was sooooo good, as good as I remembered it. Thanks my friend Laura, and TomG, Marcie, and Arlene!

Dinner tonight with Arlene and Marc, provided they all get back LOL.

Karen, I stalked the wrong ship! LOL! It was a good stalk, though.

I wish I could drive up to Gloucester tomorrow to hang out with some CANADiAns. I usually don't have to work on Fridays, but as it turns out, I have to work tomorrow. Bummer.

Tomorrow's forecast looks excellent. Still a little breezy, but sunny and temps should get into the low 60s.

JoAnn, You had some really good friends to be the recipient of TWO gingerbread cakes with lemon sauce.

Kim, you are the stalking queen this cruise. It doesn't matter what ship it is!!!! Too bad you have to work tomorrow. Can't you call in sick?

Change of plans.....the waters were too rough to anchor/tender in Gloucester so we're going to Boston instead and will overnight there. Yippee...no one disappointed in this! The sun is out bright today too. :banana:
