From Liverpool, Sailing off into the sunset

It was November 15th, the day I had waited for, to join Fred Olson’s BOREALIS as the drama tutor for a 29 day sail from Liverpool to the Caribbean.

Ray, my husband, drove me to the dockside and there she was, in all her splendour, the funnels of BOREALIS peeping through the building along the Liverpool waterfront.

In an instant, as soon as we docked, a porter appears to take my two cases, full of clothes for all occasions. The next time I saw them, was in my cabin. Saying bye to my husband was bitter sweet, sad, but tinged with alot of excitement.

Standing in deck, watching us sail away from Liverpool, brought back memories of the time I was last on BOREALIS, with my husband and son. We sailed on her to Canada, Nova Scotia, only two years prior.

I smiled as once again, I was ton sail across the Atlantic Ocean, this time sailing towards the Caribbean Sea.
