End of the journey ..... ?


"It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end." Ursula K. Le Guin
Yes, we did it ....... 22 days of adventure and experiences of a lifetime.......

Thanks to all our ardent fans, wellwishers and fellow paisans who helped us make this journey a success.......and a special thanks goes out to Birgit, our Chief Communications Officer and Media Executive........
Now that we're sitting in a non floating position, over the next few weeks we'll try to share some of the better pictures, video, and update an overview of the trip.

Beautiful trip guys!!! Thanks for the journal. Sadly, haven't had my canoe in the water for 3 years... so paddling vicariously will have to suffice for now.

Welcome home.
