851, now down to 100, days left (and then after?)

The online journal is a miraculous thing.  You can trace the discovery of the Europa to the moment, 751 days ago, after a Halloween trip to see the Castle on her way across the Atlantic.  At the time, the thought was to make the Cape in 2017, but events, dear boy.

Proper thing, too, since it would be in the past, and you would have missed out on the Bali wedding, New Zealand, and the triumphant Brier trip.  Instead, now it is still all to come, and the planning must soon begin in earnest.  Have done a good job of keeping it in the distance - with trips like Chi/Nash, Maggie Isles, Ottawa and soon London and NO/Nan/NB. 

And what do you find yourself doing this evening to kill the time after a long and fairly eventless work day but mapping out a potential July Trans-Siberian epic to some Ulaanbaatar random festival...  Haha, that is some dedication to planning the next big thing so soon after Antarctica, and may interfere with the Ahab story you seem so intent on writing, but that's how it goes!  The contrast with the Air Canada Sydney to Halifax to Ottawa for three fiasco over the past hours continues to be hilarious.
