Today is a prep day, we played with Al and Charli for the
last two days and today we need to get ready to travel to a foreign country,
Canada. I know easy, right? Well, I need to change oil while in Canada, so I tried
to buy 40w oil but because we are in the north all I can find is 15-40 not my
first choice but it will do. We will go through Canada customs on Tuesday, so
we read about the custom rules and how to find the customs dock. We need to
stock up on food, soda, milk, etc. I checked our safety equipment to be sure we
comply and noticed our flares will expire in August, so off to West Marine.
I rebuilt both the heads this morning, they needed work, but
both seem to be fine now. Carol called around for diesel prices, since we will fill
before crossing. Internet access is very expensive in Canada for our phone
system, currently we pay $10 for 2 GB of data. In Canada, the same 2 GB is
$500, so we will need to turn our Cellular Data off on our phones. That means,
no access to marina websites or phone numbers. No weather radar, weather
reports, access to Wikipedia, phone flashlight, level, compass or any of the
cool things we can do with our iPhones. A learning process.
We will get a pump out in the morning and fill with diesel
and then head north. We plan to cross into Canada on Tuesday.
We will publish blogs as internet access becomes available,
I am told some marinas do provide access but in most cases it is week and may
not be usable. We will publish tomorrow.
No good pictures from today, but lots from earlier this
weekend.
