Cruising the Gulf of St. Lawrence October 3, 2011

     There’s always something special planned for each day.  Today Kathy participated in “The Race for the Cure”(of cancer) which meant that she had to walk around the outside deck 18 times = 5 K.  She not only was the first one finished in the non-competitive “race” but was also the oldest survivor – 28 years cancer free.
     As I previously mentioned, food is a big component of most cruises, and on this relaxing day while we passed the Breton coast and Perce Rock with thousands of birds from puffins to cormorants, we went to a special Mariner’s luncheon with 300 other former cruisers on Holland America and donned our red feather boas for the Captain’s dinner that night.
