I fly out tomorrow (Monday Oct 21) for the nearly 1000 mile delivery trip
in the new research vessel.

Wheatly, Ontario Canada
Lake Erie
Welland Canal
Lake Ontario
Oswego Canal
Erie Canal
Hudson River
Delaware Bay
Delaware Canal
Annapolis, MD
Solomons, MD

I wouldn't normally sign on for such a long trip as passenger/crew but,
when you've designed the boat, it's a different experience.

Geeze...if you wanted to test the boat, why not travel east on the St.
Lawrence, pass thorogh the Canso Causeway and then south west along the Nova
Scotia coast, across the Gulf of Maine and then to it's home port?

Oh, remember to leave your credit cards at home! It's an old trick. "We
can't find our fuel card.".....

If I remember the numbers, that's about 5 gallons per mile. Times 1000
miles. Times $5 a gallon....

Dang, that's a year or two's luxury cruising kitty!
