THANK YOU!

We have now been back from our row for just over a month. Thanks so much to everyone who helped us out, joined us, donated money or time along the way. We've posted lots more pictures of the trip on our facebook group site, hopefully you'll join us there.

For clubs who are interested, stay tuned for how to get involved.

SPECIAL THANKS TO:
Dave Fowler and Danny Fowler. Our dedicated safety boat crew. They were both with us for the entire trip. Unbelievable. They both learned all the ins and outs of Robin's character at the 4 month mark. They perfected their navigation skills and their tarp hanging skills. Unfortunately Danny lost the fish catching competition to Jeremy...too bad Kathy let one of 'the big one'...wait, the only one, go with her lack of netting skills. Sorry Danny:) It was also a close call as to who could assemble/dissasemble camp the fastest between Kathy and Danny. Dave, sorry we stayed in a hotel and went to an awesome restaurant the one night you were gone.....it was the BEST fish and chips I ever had.

Jim Hogarth - I think he joined us at least 5 times - hosting our first day breakfast at his cottage on Indian River, loading the pontoon boat while Dave 're-organized' all our stuff, joining us with Jurgen and Meghan for the day and a night in the motel (best fish and chips), and finally joining us for a night of camping that dropped below zero and included the loss of all the air in the air mattress....surprisingly he didn't have much to say the next morning other than...'I gotta go':)

Frank, Wenda and Hudson - our hosts on Sparrow Lake. An amazing day of eating, hot tubbing and relaxing. Perfect timing after the first chunk of rowing.

Rowers, safety boat helpers and visitors who joined us: Jocelyn and Mike and Edith Splatter, Shannon van Baalen, Joe Rashotte, Peter Fowler, Gerrette Bradshaw, Tom Bradshaw, Debbie, Howie and Abby Fleisher, Dani Wilson, Sue Fowler, Geoff and Lise, Mary and Cindy Rusak, Meghan Hogarth and Jurgen Schubert, Ron and Barb Pigeon, Andy and Wanda, Rich and Marilyn McCarthy, Matt McCarthy, Danielle Lapointe, Paige Klinkman and Jodi Klinkman, Brian McCarthy.
