Great Lakes Cruise: Thunder Bay

Here’s where we are for Day 2.

Thunder Bay

Day 2 in Thunder Bay

Took off from Duluth yesterday.

As on all cruises, the first thing they do is to give everyone a safety briefing. These are important since (as we all know) sh*t happens sometimes, and it’s good to be prepared. So, most guests pay some attention but not full attention since they are more excited than worried.

I’m guessing that’s why not too many folks laughed when the Safety Director gave the following instructions:

“In case of emergency you will hear seven short blasts followed by a long blast.

When you hear that, no matter where you are on the ship, go directly to your muster station. 

Do not go back to your cabin. Do not look for your loved ones. They can always be replaced at a later date”.

At least I thought that was funny as hell 🤪

Visiting some remote spots in Canada like Thunder Bay and Silver islet. Some cool history here. Mostly hiking through forests and relaxing.

Silver Inlet, for instance, has 250 residents. And that’s in the summer. In the winter, nine hardy folks stay here.

welcome

Welcome to Thunder Bay!

And here is our ship at anchor, from Silver Islet.

Just hoping I can get the Bills game on my iPad tomorrow night hahahahaha
