Setting sails
Today we departed the port of Halifax at 11:00 AM, this was an all hands on deck maneuver. As we sailed out of the harbour we got to experience the 7-3-1 chant where we slapped our knees and clapped our hands 7-3-1time(s) while waving farewell to the kind people of Halifax.
This was our last chance to communicate with our friends and family before Le Havre. We also spent much time attempting to sail but the winds were not in our favor.
Along with this departure came a hand full of people that unfortunately experienced some sea sickness. We left Halifax with nothing but excitement and a yearning for the adventure to come.
