Agony and Ecstasy




The agony of leaving was remarkable.  It was an overwhelming process, and everyone close to us over the last two weeks has been witness to our fatigue, illness, anxiety, worry, sleeplessness, emotional exhaustion, and so on...  Thank you for all of your support, prayers, and practical help.  We are so grateful for everyone who chipped in in these final preparatory days (wink, wink, momma KP, and aunt Annie)!

And then, of course, the ecstasy of hitting the road.  We are all still trying to wriggle out from under the weights of stress we've been carrying, but already there is a sense of freedom and adventure before us.

We are currently about 40 miles north of Perry Sound.  Today we head to Manitoulin Island.

We will be in touch.
