Departure Delayed
The last of our gear arrived today - just in time for the expedition. We could finally experience the joy of canoe Tetris. Our game started off with a 19ft. canoe, two paddlers, a dog and too much gear. To our dismay, we just couldn't fit it all in the finite space between the gunwales. After about two hours, the game quickly became a chore as we paired down extra gear and food. We have had to repack all our food and rethink our food drops. Due to this, and other life circumstances that are beyond our control, our departure, slated for May 12, will be delayed for a few days. It is our goal to be safely on the water as soon as possible.
