There's our pretty lady! Off the shores of Belfast.

No, I have not missed her inaugural sail! Hopefully, I will be on board for that next week! We are sooo close! Don't want to speak to soon, but today VVR did private testing to make sure all systems are working as they should, and they did!! Thanks be to God! Tomorrow the ship will be loading with fuel, and four containers of provisions, medical equipment, coffee makers, supplies and parts. Then Friday, we have our hopefully final SEA TRIAL with the testing agency, DNV to get our final compliance certificate to SAIL! Then we need insurance and department of health sign offs Monday and hopefully by Tuesday, we have the green light to live on the ship and sail away!! We are supposed to then head to the Azores, then Bermuda and then down to Nassau, Bahamas, where we will rejoin our planned third segment in the Caribbean. Once we set sail and they post the revised itinerary, I will let you all know so we can make some plans to hook up. So, I am going to enjoy my last few days here in Philly with some more pool & friend time and a little work too!

Today we spent on the water. We had signed up for a beach and snorkel trip yesterday and had to move to today because we had tender issues into the port and missed the start time. Today was also looking bleak but the charter waited for us and even sent their tender over to our delayed shuttle and rescued us off so we could join the group waiting for us! It was a fun day, swimming and snorkeling over 4 different beach locations. The water, drinks and sunshine were all great fun!
