End of the maiden voyage and beginning of her career

January 20th, 2012: Winter trading on the St. Lawrence.
Our ship and crew have come a long way. The ship has performed very well in this, her first season of life. She has been operating on the east coast of Canada and the great lakes, hauling various cargoes. In a week or two we will enter a short lay-up in Montreal that will better prepare us for what is to come, hopefully many more seasons of successful operation for her proud owners and her equally proud crew.
Thank you for the interest
