Hey! So I know blogs have been scarce lately but it is not because of lack of activities to blog about. Sailing into Halifax was great besides the fact we could barley see anything through the fog. It was my first time ever out in the Halifax harbor besides that one time when I was younger and I took the ferry to Dartmouth but this was much more exciting.  From the first day we arrived there was lots of activities on the go. The first night I was on stage at the Neptune Theater receiving the original painting that I had in December helped present to the President of Sierra Leone. This painting has had many copies made but the owner decided it was time for it to come back home and was giving it to the province of Nova Scotia to be cared for by the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. It is a painting of the ships taking the Black Loyalists to Sierra Leone. It was all very exciting because not only was my family, members of the museum and others there but the highnesses of Ghana were also present.

Through out the next couple weeks we attended many different celebrations; at Frackville, and at the maritime museum launching the 225^th anniversary of the black loyalist and Natal day weekend on the waterfront for the birth of Halifax. Along with Day sails with many different groups of kids who all seem to really enjoy the ship and the story of the Amistad.

   On Tuesday when we left we had a few more people join us for our journey down to Shelburne. Daniel Race a 13 years old from Shelburne, John Belanger from Connecticut and an Eastlink camera crew of 3. So far it was been a pretty interesting trip down anchoring each night. First night in Green bay, second in Port Joli and its up in the air for tonight Green Harbor or Jordan Bay. Tomorrow is the big day when I get to sail home and I hope I can get some sleep tonight cause its going to be a busy few days in Shelburne. Well this blog is running long which means I should definitely blog more often! But until then, bye.
