The years are getting on and this year's cruise is likely the last we will be taking the Q E Too to
Desolation Sound and the Broughton's. So it was one last grand cruise. There were no
mishaps except for a little difficulty with the current while docking in Everett.
|
But there were no mechanical failures or injuries. Due to reasons of health, Gloria
only cruised as far as Bellingham and re-boarded again in Bellingham on the return.
This years cruise registered a round trip total of 825 nautical miles on the GPS. |
