C: Day One: Brian made it to Argentia in 8 hrs, frozen solid, but at least he was early for the 8pm ferry so there was no line up at the shower! He probably used all the hot water to thaw out. Ferry food? Delicious when you're starving. Dormitory sleeping? Pissy unless you're used to a neighbor snoring all night. B wasn't a happy camper (Now he'll appreciate me! At least I don't snore-well not loudly).

Day two: He sets off from the ferry at noon, and has to go 150 km, and up Kelly's Mountain (900 ft.) before he finds a motel in Port Hastings. (Restaurant closes at 8 though, so he's plumb outta luck). Thats means another 5km to a nearby Subway to find a sandwich, and 5km back to eat it. At least there's a microwave in the room. So still hungry, cold, wet and tired after 295 km in two days. Is he out of the East Coast drizzle? That remains to be seen. Rain is still in the forecast for Thursday. On the positive side, he's wearing his winter gear so he doesn't have to pack it. On the negative side he's wondering if the whole X-Canada thing was a little optimistic.


Meanwhile I am chilling in St. John's with my BFF (one of two). Pauline and I are heading to Canadian Tire to buy plants so she can finally plant her flower box. (Its only June 23!) Then we're up for a home cooked Jiggs dinner. Mmmm or should I say Yes boy!
