DAY 6 - Through The Porthole - Departing Quebec City aboard Polar Prince

I took a video of our beloved C3 ship, Polar Prince slipping her lines and pulling away from the dock at Quebec City. It's unedited, and there are parts where you can't hear anything but the wind, but it's still a cool perspective. Not many people get to be on an icebreaker just hanging out as she gets underway!

You get to see the stern lines getting pulled up with the winch back aft, and you get to see me meeting Olympic Gold Medalist, Jennifer Jones, who joined the ship's company in Quebec City. Jimmy, Tiio, and bosun, Kevin "Canso" Newell all make cameo appearances, and you get to see the whole crew in action, hauling up the Zodiac and placing it with unequaled precision on the foredeck. Plus, you get to see the skyline of Quebec City at night as we pull away, bound for more adventures down the St. Lawrence!
