Happened to be in St. John's this week. Nice surprise was Athabaskan's unexpected short visit.

Very nice pics. Had I known Athabaskan was going to be in St. Johns I would have been there also. Atha B looks a little rusty. Do you know where she was coming from or where she is heading?

Thank you for sharing,

Monty

According to one old timer, she is heading for Halifax for minor repairs and paint then heading south to work with the US authorities on drug/smuggling interdiction. Apparently she is the workhorse of the fleet right now. He estimates he has more at sea time in the last nine months than he had on a couple of CPF tours.

Yeah, we are in the process of cleaning those rust stains off in home port but you get that way when you sail most of the time.

I know this isn't part of a St John's but its all part of the same trip.

I guess we invaded for 20 minutes, I wonder if they (Homeland security) are embarrassed, thanks for that, good chuckle
