A Bit Rough Crossing the North Atlantic Ocean. Splash from the waves made it up to my deck 5 cabin on the MV Explorer. I didn’t get sea sick, but there were not many that showed up for lunch or dinner. Image taken with a Leica X2 camera (ISO 100, 24 mm, f/5, 1/320 sec).
Trying out for a Darwin Award. Jet Skier on Lake Chelan jumping the wake of the “The Lady of the Lake II” ferry. Image taken with a Nikon D3x and 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 400, 300 mm, f/10, 1/1000 sec).

Walkabout in Halifax while waiting to board the Semester at Sea MV Explorer for the Fall 2012 Voyage. The MV Explorer was arriving from Boston with the Faculty and Staff for the Fall Voyage. There were lots of undergraduate students and their parents walking around downtown Halifax. Theodore Too and Lighthouse in the Halifax Harbor. The Theodore Too is an old tugboat that has been converted into a harbor tour boat. It looks like a cartoon character. We saw it go past the ship several times during the day.
