We boarded the Norwegian Pearl in Boston on Friday Sept. 15, just as the remnants of Hurricane Lee were coming up the east coast. As a result, we stayed at the dock until late Saturday/early sunday morning, with a lovely view of the container terminal cranes.

Leaving that late meant that we skipped the planned stop in Bar Harbor, heading straight for Halifax, NS. We were a day late for our scheduled stops in Halifax and Sydney, which lead to skipping the planned stop in Charlottetown, P.E.I. getting back onto the planned schedule for Saguenay and Quebec City.
