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.

We found out where we were....Contance Bay...an old cottage area north of Ottawa. Turns out there's a restaurant nearby....
Saturday morning update. As of 11am, we expect to be in Ottawa by about 1:30pm....the wind is blowing in our direction.
