I really felt sorry for the crew that must have been going nuts not being able to leave the boat for that length of time. It will be interesting to see if this economic chaos has a similar effect.

It is now in its fifth week in Plumper Sound. They must be running out (shortly?) of food items. It's too bad the crew can't be cleared by Canadian Immigration so they could go ashore for a short while for a change of scenery. If I was part of the crew I would probably being going bonkers by now. It's different if you're underway - but in the same place - swinging at anchor???!!! Cheers Mike Hello Kevin

Looking from offshore it looks miniscule but your photo certainly shows how large it really is. Colours and setting lovely. Pat Hi Kevin,
