Day 6 and 7







There's nothing much to report, except that we're covering fair distance whenever we have great weather.

Day 6 - Today we started at 6 a.m. and paddled all the way to an Island 10 kms from Benjamin island. We paddled for about 12 hours in total.

Day 7 - It's a little after 2pm and we're sitting in an internet cafe in Little Current. We hope to head to Killarney or an island close to Killarney today.

Eating to live....

Ross trying to swallow meatballs from my gourmet cooking, except that the meatballs weren't even meat so to speak....more like Macdonalds processed meat...if you know what I mean...
