Q. Where are you right now?A. Right now, I am in my room onboard the ship. We are anchored, waiting our turn to go into Two Harbors, Minnesota. We came from Nanticoke, Ontario, and we are taking the load to Quebec City. I am so excited to go down through the seaway and have a chance to wave at my mom in Brockville. I am hopeful that we pass during the daylight hours because the captain usually blows a salute for my mom. That is one long and two short blasts of the whistle.Q. What did you make for dinner last night?A. Last night was a special meal. I made butter chicken with basmati rice, Naan bread, onion bhaji and green peas. The second choice was sweet and sour pork and the third choice was baked chicken with gravy.
