This is Ken and wanted to do another post of
our stats so far. Again, no fancy photos, post scripts from Roofus or anything
like that.
We are currently sitting in Midland, ON getting the inverter installed and taking care a couple of other minor things. We are now through all of the canals and locks in Canada and only have the Georgian Bay and the North Channel left before we re-enter the US.

So as of August 18th, below are our stats on our trip:
Miles traveled 1658
Days traveled 51
Hours traveled 210
Fuel consumed 1097 Gallons
Ave
speed
7.9 MPH
Locks traversed 127
Bridges crossed under 203
Tunnels crossed 6
Days lost to weather 17
Days lost to repairs 6
We are running a little behind schedule, but now that we have our inverter getting straightened out and don’t have any further mechanical or electrical issues we will be fine. We hope to be in Chicago by the middle to late September. This is a fantastic trip and we are having a great time and really had no problems accomplishing the loop so far. We will be beginning the Georgian Bay and the North Channel over the next three to four weeks, so that has some potential grounding and anchoring trials, so hopefully we can stay off the rocks and anchor successfully in those areas. We have seen every type of lock possible, many unique bridges, more rocks than I thought were in the world, daily beautiful sun rises and sun sets. The people we have met along the way have been fantastic and very helpful.
This trip is so much
fun and it is challenging without being terrifying. It has been educational and
the experience we are gaining is priceless. And most of all we still love each
other and we are all healthy and happy.Locks traversed 127

How are the diet cokes holding out?
ReplyDeleteThe Canadian diet cokes are have been gone for about a week. Ken has had to resort to making them himself, one at a time. Poor boy, don't you feel bad for him? NOT!
