DAY ONE of our ADVENTURE!




What a day! Much emotional and logistical turmoil to actually cast off on such a journey. We had so much help and support leading up to this it has been marvelous. And now - here we are! Not very far, mind you, we only went as far as Fifty Point Marina. We got the 3:30 bridge lift out of Hamilton Harbour and arrived here by 5:15. Now we can plan our next few days getting to Oswego NY on the weekend to take down our mast for the canals. Christopher even got a little bit of "boat schooling in - although he was most impressed with the wi-fi access we have here and his time to check out You Tube! Not roughing it yet.
Here is a link to a video that Jessica took as we were leaving. http://s437.photobucket.com/albums/qq97/jess_v485/?action=view&current=030.flv

Hello Dave, Shirley and Christopher,

So nice to hear about your plans. We missed you at the club this summer. We thought of you several times since we knew you had gone south to take your courses and we were wondering what happened. Now we know! Your adventure is the cruising communities gain and Humber's loss.

We are jealous...at least we will be able to follow along via your blog! We wish you the finest of good weather and we will probably write you from time to time.

All the best,
Paul and Paola Rogers
