Captain’s Notes: All new hands finally had a formal “meet the Captain” (it’s been a busy few days!).
Bluenose II, St Lawrence II and Denis Sullivan joined us at our anchorage. Pride of Baltimore II and U.S. Brig Niagara are approaching Lock 8. I have a hunch they could turn up here, too. That would make for quite a picture. Empire Sandy, HMCS Oriole & Santa Maria in the first third of the canal.
