New rudder stocks being installed. Oh happy day!

Finally the tides have turned in our favor! The two rudder stocks have been signed off and approved by the inspection agency and are being installed on the ship. The hope is to be flooding the dry dock tomorrow and allowing us to finally float again. They will then move the ship out of dock area and get the all the in water testing done and signed off, so we can embark and set sail out of Belfast on our maiden voyage. The anticipated sail date and time is 20:00 ( or 8pm ) on Tuesday, July 30th. Below is the revised itinerary showing the departure of July 30th and the revisions needed to balance of segment & two to incorporate the delays. Canada and the East Coast of USA have been removed for now, for several reasons. I actually like revisions, in that it gives us back some of European ports I was looking forward to sooner than later and adds Portugal, the Azores and Bermuda sooner than later. By segment 3 we are caught back up to originally planned itinerary. So any guest want to join me in August , September or October? Just let me know!

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!
