First time Mike's in the lead

The questions and doubts I had about whether or not we could handle this trip have started to slip away. It's obvious Sonja can crank out the miles, her body is a machine. I seem to be learning to keep up especially when she stops and waits for me. Our biggest challenge seems to be knowing when to say enough is enough for I think we tend to push too many miles too often. The immensity of the trip is starting to feel like something we can handle. One fifth of the miles have been paddled and we still want to go on. Right now, just off shore from our campground someone is playing Amazing Grace on the bagpipes. (Mike)
