‘Twas a Very Nice Trip – Doing a Few Islands to Escape the Snow

The Westerdam moored off Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas

Just about zero Amateur Radio content, unless you count reading the latest issues of QST, Nuts & Volts, World Radio and CQ magazines while in various airports, and the postings to “With Varying Frequency” minimalized by a wonky satellite internet link, but we escaped the snow.A week on the Holland American Line’s Westerdam doing the East Caribbean – Grand Turk, Tortola, St Maarten, and their private Half Moon Cay Bahamas. 

Fantastic weather, ship, people and Islands.

Took no radio gear and never did connect with the correct Holland American Line people to get a solid answer on operating from the ship if I had. 

Was nice to swim, see, talk & relax. 

Highly recommended!

Back to snow snow snow and everything from freezing rain to sub-zero temperatures.

Should mention the ride back – we left the ship at 84F (23c) and arrived to a windy -10F (-23c).  Had to steady myself from getting back on a southbound plane.

Been back a week and somehow snowshoeing just isn’t quite the same…………
