Don't Stop Believin'

Frank and I were off early in the morning to make the ferry to Victoria that was leaving at 9am. We wanted to be about one hour early. The ferry may have been 70-80 percent full...but tomorrow's ferry will be packed as it is the last day of the long holiday. Once we arrived, we met with our uncle Roger and his son, our cousin, Derek. This was to be the last ride of the trip for the 42canoe that was on a volunteer's vehicle! So this was it, we threw it onto the Dodge Journey. Get our title for the blog now?

We then drove over to “Mile 0” of the TransCanada highway for a few photo ops. Next it was down to Fisherman's Wharf for the canoe's 2nd dip in the water for the entire trip, this time in the waters of the Pacific Ocean!!! Frank and I set the canoe in the water, with our mom, Natacha (Frank's wife), our uncle Roger, our aunt Sandy, Derek and his wife Laura and their kids Devin and Paige watching our launch and taking some final pictures.

Tomorrow would have been dad's 68th birthday. We will be getting together with family and toasting the man that inspired the 'Cross Canada with a Canoe fundraiser.

It's been a great trip and we've met some utterly amazing people along the way. We hope to stay in touch with more than a few of them.

Thanks to everyone that gave us a lift, took us home to dinner, or took the time to hear about ALS and make a donation. We hope you enjoyed our company and that you are all safe and sound.

Warm Regards,
Frank and Jeff
