Hi Ev,

?

Nancy and I just enjoyed a sports car drive to Astoria. Good weather plus it gave me an opportunity to pay my annual Colombia River Maritime Museum membership.

?

I'm open the week of April 19, so after others respond, let me know the specific date for our PEI meeting via phone or Zoom.

?

I can make up an agenda and send it to you during March. You have travel coming up, so don't worry about preparing a meeting agenda. You can take whatever I give you and modify it any way you choose.?

?

Cheers, Joe?

In early February, Canada extended its ban on cruise ships, prohibiting vessels carrying 100 or more people until Feb. 28, 2022. The ban also effectively closes the Canadian Arctic to boat-related tourism until 2022 and puts the entire Alaska cruise season in jeopardy.

In January, Canada?for travelers arriving by air: As of Jan. 7, all travelers ages 5 or older must present a negative COVID-19 test result prior to boarding any flight entering Canada from another country.

All travelers to Canada are also required to take a PCR test upon arrival and pay for a three-day quarantine in a government-approved hotel while waiting for the result of the test. If the traveler’s test returns a negative result, they will be able to finish their mandatory 14-day quarantine at home. If a traveler’s test comes back positive, they will be required to quarantine in designated government facilities.
