Under Cover of Darkness

The CCGS Hudson set sail June 7th under perfect steaming conditions.  On our departure out of the harbor, a crescent moon hovered over the Halifax skyline.  This is the first time aboard an oceanographic research vessel for some of our Fisheries and Oceans staff, and the view of the brightly lit Halifax skyline receding in the distance as we steamed towards Emerald Basin was a welcome sight after days spent speculating on our eventual departure.

As we passed under the MacKay bridge the CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent could be seen in dry dock  Not long after we passed by the wonderfully lit clock tower on Citadel Hill
