BCahill315 Posted June 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I am wondering if the wildfires are having any effect on the ports in St Johns and Halifax. Does anyone have any insight? Whether I go or not I am sending prayers out to our Canadian neighbors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be sailing on the QM2 on Friday and then it's returning Saturday long gone. But we will be in Halifax on Sunday so we will see. I don't think we will feel it on in the Ocean especially going at a pretty good clip. But will see what we can report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaribbeanBound Posted June 29, 2023 #10 Share Posted June 29, 2023 The government site for the National Map can be found at AirNow.gov. That area, currently, is quite good. Haven't seen a site that models the air currents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know it’s a holiday weekend here and a Sunday so the city will be a quiet one. The weather is hard to predict but it has literally rained for the past days and the next two aren’t looking better so we will keep our fingers crossed for Saturday and Sunday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the city yesterday, and you could not see the skyscrapers from 5 miles away. Today looks better, but when you go outside, it smells like you are camping (which would be great if I was). Wishing our friends to the north the best and hope there is a Canada left when we sail out of Quebec City in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
