Children, don’t let your balloons float away, they end up on / in Lake Ontario. Short post today. We made it to Cobourg. We had decent winds for a few hours so we sailed on a broad / beam reach. But alas, the winds died down so we motored for 8 of the 10 hours….
Boom! That just happened. The boat made it to Scarborough with us on it. Wait, the most critical news. I FORGOT PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!!!! Highlights. Light swirly winds so no sailing so just motoring Motoring past the CN tower pretty much an entire day a lot of loons, ducks, swans a bloated dead raccoon floating by…
May 4, 2019 We made it! Drive, Uber, train, train, Uber and then we were at the boat. Good news, the docks now have power and water so we are juicing up and we added some water to the tanks. Today was about getting the boat ready. We did a bunch of stuff. Most importantly…
Shit. Bravado is not always enough to overcome a lack of skill. But let’s give it a go. Hoping for great weather. Prefer no wind to too much wind. Need some background? Click here: [Kiss my ass I bought a boat, I’m heading out to sea The plan: Just me and child #1. Did I…
Part of that is true. We did buy a boat. Several boats, but not all are staying. We are not heading out to sea (yet). And please, no kisses on the ass. Serial hobbyist? Planning for the next stage of life? Pursuing a dream? A bit foolish? It kind of started back in the RV…
Yes, we went to Killarney Provincial Park in November. November 1st to be exact. This trip was to be the sequel to our canoe trip two years ago. But, this one was a bit different. First of all, Mr. Gossamer Gear could not attend due to illness. We were sad. Second difference was that we…
Yup, it happened. But how did it happen? Where did they go? What did they ride? Hasn’t been much of a riding year for me. I’ve only put about 2000 km on the Super Tenere. Mostly because I was commuting with another person to work for the summer. Weather didn’t help motivate us to plan…
Cousin Otis and I chose to ignore the world and go for a lovely ride May 31, 2014. Nope, we didn’t join the “Ride for Dad” (which is a great charity event), we went our own way. I’m not big on group rides. Nature gave us an absolutely wonderful day. Some background first Otis an…
I’ve covered off the things that were more or less attached to the bike. This post covers the gear that was more or less attached to me. Mostly it covers the outer shell parts. The inner layers consisted of various combinations of: Under Armour T-shirts (just brought 2) ExOfficio underware (3) Columbia zip off pants…
During the heat of preparation for a big trip, you can lose track of what you have done and possibly how much you have spent. I’m glad to have lost track of how much I spent. This post contains a list of the accessories (farkles in cool internet terms) I added to the bike. Not…
