Sometimes Plans Change for the Best

Last week, we decided to take a few more days to prepare for the expedition. This past weekend, we travelled to Tobermory to do some preliminary filming as well as meet with family (our food drop support crew). The 'Tip-of-the-Bruce' is so beautiful and the water so cold. So cold, that Tess has decided to go on a holiday with her grandparents instead of the canoe trip. She will join us later this summer when the water is warmer. The small delay has only increased our excitement and we are now anxious to get on the water. All ready to go, we will be departing Tobermory on Thursday, May 17th.

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.

Website Up and Spray Deck Installed!!!

Big thanks go out today to all the people that have helped get our website online today. Jeff, Andrew and Brian were key to the design and publication of the site. Thank you all. Another Thanks to Jordan, who helped with the scary task of drilling our new boat to install our new, custom made Northwater Spray Deck. It was a nerve wracking experience, but it looks great! We will test it soon! We are now ready to get on the water.
