Still At Sea Outrunning Hurricane Irene
(Skipping Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada)

The Ship's Captain announced that we'd have to skip our next port stop of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in order to continue to outrun Hurricane Irene. So far we hadn't made any port stops since leaving Boston. But for the safety of the passengers, crew, and ship, it was more important to get the ship out of the path of the approaching hurricane.
