Lazy Day and Tall Ships

Hello everycat!!
I am waiting for my grass.
Mom is getting it for me so she can use my blog again.
Just get the tender blades Mom!!!!!!!!!

I think the police are pretty happy with their assignment,
looking after things during the Tall Ships weekend

These girls are looking for 'Captain Jack Sparrow'

Look at this tall ship!
What ship is it?

It is the USCC Eagle!

These beans have a great view on the Silva

This is the HMS Bounty

This is her figurehead.

The small ship in the foreground is the Viking Sea Rover
and the tall ship is the Fair Jeanne

The Europa

The Amistad and the HMCS Goose Bay.
a mixture of old and new.

This is the pride of Nova Scotia, the Bluenose!!
It is on the back of our dimes.

Halifax Harbourwalk

Today, Mom is going to show you a bit of the
Halifax Harbourwalk. It skirts the harbour and there is lots to see.
It got a fix up too,in preparation of the Tall Ships coming.
Mom got me some grass, so I must go eat it now.

This is a map showing the boardwalk.
Mom started at the Ferry Terminal(arrow)
and this tour ends at the Seaport(arrow)
where cruise ships dock.

A view near the Ferry Terminal.

A new dock, ready for ships to tie up while in port.

Hmmmmmmmm, human litter boxes!
They must be expecting a lot of beans.

Lots of entertainment along the way.

Another newly constructed part of the Harbourwalk.

They are expecting little sticky people too!!

Lots of homes and places to eat.
See, beans like to eat as much as we do!

Gee!! I am glad I am not near that water!

There are nice places to sit and relax.

More litter boxes!!!
Look at that building they are taking down.

Mom said they used to show movies on one of the walls.
It was painted white.

Look!! Tall Ships !!!!!
The ship closest to the wharf is the "Belle- Poule" and
next to is it is it's sister the "Étoile"
They are from France.

This is the end of this tour.
Sometime,we will show the Seaport,
where the cruise ships dock.

Sunday Momday

Today Mom is hijacking my blog!!!!!!
OK,I let her do a post of her own.
Yesterday,she picked me some grass.
Mmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!
OK Mom, over to you!

Thanks Mickey.
When I go to work in the mornings,
I often take the ferry across Halifax harbour.
There are many interesting things to see.
Recently we have had an interesting visitor,
the Seajacks Kracken
This liftboat arrived near the end of April,
and stayed a few weeks to have some work done.

On foggy days, the uppermost parts disappear into the mist.

This rig will be providing accommodation
for people working on oil rigs

You can see the windows of the bridge.

This rig can sail by itself.

The work is done and the boat is lowered to the water.
It is getting ready to depart soon.

On May 20,another rig came into port.
It is the Rowan Gorilla III.
It will be heading to the Deep Panuke oil fields
located near Sable Island.

They seem to have brought warm weather with them.

Tugboats are around the Seajacks Kracken.
That means it is ready to leave port.

It departed May 22 and is on it's way
to the oil fields off Sable Island.

Bon Voyage!
