6/21/17: We are on our way – come hell or high water or both!

So, we did get our boat launched on Tuesday (6/20/17).  Took about 4 hours to get the two engines and the generator working properly.  One minor leak was noted in the stern.  On Wednesday we had the leak attended to by Mel “the fiberglass guy.”  We did last minute provisioning and cleaned the decks. We set a send off time for 5pm and it happened!!! Lines were cast off and our new Looper friends and old marina buddies waved us goodbye. We are currently anchored off Grindstone Island in our favorite cove (Picnic Point Bay).  Tomorrow we will check into customs and head toward the Trent Severn Canal System.  Pictures to follow!
