A day Behind Before we've Left...

{EDIT: Another potential holdup... I just found out that we may need to go to see family in Sudbury before heading out. This would push us back by another day. I will update tomorrow AM after a family conference.}

The nice thing about DIY vacations is that the schedule can be flexible. We are taking advantage of that.

I thought it would be good for SWMBO to stop in and say hi to her grandparents before we head off, and while down in the city, she can swap our 2 monoculars for pair of binoculars. Hopefully they will stay intact.

While she is in the City, I will pack the boat and build a mast crutch. Our revised plan is to leave Jackson's point tomorrow afternoon. This would mean the following plan:

1. Arrive JP tonight and (mostly) pack the boat.
2. Go back in the morning and install the tether for Buddy, Build a mast crutch, and buy the rest of the groceries while SWMBO goes and gets new Binoculars and sees Grandma and Grandpa.
3. Finish packing the boat.
4. Cobble together a mount for the fishfinder.
5. Drop off a vehicle in Barrie.
6. Hug SWMBO and head off.

If things go well tonight; which is to say I leave work on time, and we get things figured out for packing, and we get a decent grocery list together, we should get out around noon tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Our plan as it stands right now is:

Wednesday the 12th

• Noon-ish: Leave JP headed for Orillia
• Drop Mast in Atherly area
• Tomorrow evening: Arrive Orillia, possibly stay at Washago/Severn Bridge.

Thursday the 13th

• Early: Leave Washago and head down the canal
• Late: Arrive Gloucester Pool

Friday the 14th

• Early: Leave Gloucester Pool
• Mid-Morning: Arrive Doral Marine Resort & plug in.
• Raise Mast
• Call Patti
• Check in with the family.

The butterflies are growing. I'm getting a little more excited...
