Away
October 7, 2023
Departure day – and who would have thought it was also Crab Fest in Port Angles! Yes, over 750 people on the ferry that morning all dressed up in crab gear. Unfortunately, crab was not on the Coho menu, but that was OK, the day was beautiful. Sun shining, little wind, a gentle roll from side to side as we waddled across the Straits of Juan de Fuca to Port Angeles.
Travelling always introduces you to people one wouldn’t normally meet. The Coho was not any different. From the man wearing a crab hat to the ex UVic librarian, we were kept amused with conversations and card games.
Sim cards were removed, social media was silent and we were off to another adventure.

Awesome. I’ll be arriving early Oct 12, then departing to Cappadocia several hours later…. And back to Istanbul on Oct 16. Can meet up 12,16,17
Would be great to see you

The hardest part is always untying to boat. You’re away. Will look forward to your blogs. Always a bleep away if you need something.
Cheers, Fred
Lordy Tony, you’ve been away for hours and still no post card- wtf! Liz and I are back in Amsterdam for 2 more sleeps. All well here, just a tad cool. Liz’s stitches are out. 2 more days without a wipe out and we’re home free. Dam shame the Dutch and the Germans banned the production of post cards on the grounds they contributed to global warming. Fortunately you won’t have the same problem in Turkey and Botswana. Safe Travels and no wizzing in the jungle after dark. T
Have a wonderful trip and stay safe on your adventures.
Janis and Frans
Tingling all over thinking of you setting off
Dear Tony and Connie
<
div>Delighted to hear you’re off
Looking forward to hearing about your adventures in places I have yet to explore……
Tony and Connie,
Are you certain that all the festivities on the ship were celebrating Crab Fest? I thought it was a “So Long, Farewell – Have A Great Holiday” from the Pickle Ball Association – they will miss you both!!!
We are stuck with 4 -5 days of rain here – Canada needed the rain, but enough is enough!
