Where do you start a circle? Wherever the weather lets you!!! We are working away diligently at our to-do lists: marking maps and charts, looking at satellite imagery, charging up tech batteries, making choices of gear, watching the weather, getting nervous, getting excited…

Preparations are continuing-the lists are getting shorter…and longer! Is anyone else like us whereby when going out on a trip you want to glue up absolutely every life to-do list before you go? On final approach today by pulling kitchen gear, partitioning the food into daily packs and resupply packs, finalizing comms details and making garlic scape pesto.

One of our last big decisions is to decide where to sew on our Royal Canadian Geographic Expedition patches…the debate ranges from our hats to our sleeves. It was already a great honour to apply the flag to our kayaks. We received funding for this expedition through The Royal Canadian Geographical Society.

I’m back to check a few more things off the list…watch for our starting location post in a day or two. Stay tuned.
