Aboard the HMCS Glace Bay


I spent this morning in the best possible way, aboard the HMCS Glace Bay. This was at the invitation of the fine members of the Naval Reserve. Of course I was diligently researching on behalf of the NQ, conducting interviews towards our Spring Issue (yes, we are sometimes that organized!) The ship, which seems to corner on rails and turn on a dime, did some fancy maneuvers, and showed us how they can rescue a man overboard in less than five minutes - and guess what else? - we saw whales, humpback whales, breaching to starboard, what a lovely phrase.
