End of Week Six - Whaddyat? Come From Away!!!

Way to go team!!!!   After a week of heading south east, 2,356 kilometers later we find ourselves back in civilization in St. John's, Newfoundland!

One of crew fell on the tundra last week and we have been taking turns piggy backing her.   That combined with portaging with the dragon boats has been quite the challenge!  




We have traveled a total of 15,683 kilometers in six short weeks!   That's an average of 2,613 kilometers a week.

WeekTotal
12313.55
23571.74
32584.721
42564.64
52292.58
62356.18
15683.411

We have 3 weeks left of our journey with less than 8,000 kilometers to go!   We are in the end stretch, and it is time to pick up the pace again crew!  We had a strong start and have gliding along on our efforts, now we need a strong finish!    Give me a hard 10 between now and Christmas and it will be smooth sailing into 2021!

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”                   Lao Tzu Nine years ago today, I entered NGGH with my daughter to have my breast cancer surgery. Just 11 months after the death of my husband, I was on a true journey into the unknown. After my surgery, and 27 days of radiation, I began a new journey alone. I got on a plane and flew to Panama. I packed my tube of third degree burn cream and a stack of white men’s Stansfield tee shirt. I walked the beaches and followed the route  the Panama Canal to its source. After the first journey, I have travelled thousands of miles alone. November 1st, I began yet another journey. This time I am walking to Vancouver with friends. Although, I am walking by myself, I am not alone. Friends and family will walk beside me with faith and support. This is a new journey! This is an adventure! The road ahead is clear! - Audi Johnston - Hope Floats member
