29 July 2007
We had a nice, relaxing day sailing on my family's boat in Midland. There was no wind, so we motored out to Beausoleil Island. We went for a walk, a swim, and had some sandwiches and beer with my dad. The day was beautiful, and it was nice not to have to do anything and just relax. The wind picked up in the evening, so we put the sails up for the trip back to the marina.

Doesn't he look pretty? He wasn't too pleased about this picture, but I love it!
They keep my feet dry AND they're shiny!
Will we ever get rid of those horrible cycling tan lines?

About the tours
Chapter 1 (2007): While I was in Vancouver in March, I stumbled upon an ad posted in my hostel by a guy looking for someone to cycle across the country with him. I called him, we met, and within 10 minutes of our conversation I decided that I was going to join him. Now Dan and I are finally embarking on this crazy adventure. We are definitely cycling across Canada, but pretty much everything else about the trip--our route, how long it will take, how much it will cost, and (especially) the weather--is quite indefinite. Hence, the blog title.
Chapter 2 (2010): 'Indefinitely' has taken on a new meaning: I am cycling across the eastern-most part of Canada this summer, traveling through PEI, Cape Breton and Newfoundland with Mike and Nicole.
Chapter 3 (2011): Starting June 1st, I've been cycling with my friend Michael from Fredericton, NB through the States. We're heading west!

hey agnes. i am in bali now halfway to dili, east timor from jakarta and finally benefiting from some halfway decent internet. Just finished reading all your posts since Manitoba and damn, wow!. Only wish i could keep a blog, but then i have no rhyme or purpose to my wanderings. it always just seems to make sense in retrospect. slowly depleting my funds but really beginning to thinking of finding a job maybe in thailand to stay out here for a proper year (that is return home in january). not quite done with myself as of yet. miss you babe. g
