A Tentative Schedule

While I didn't get any paddling in over the weekend (partly due to Hurricane Gustav), I did sit down and come up with a tentative overall schedule for the PrayerPaddle. From the beginning, I've been torn between trying to do the whole length in one summer or dividing it up over two years. I'm now thinking that it should be possible to complete the trip from Tide Head, NB to Pleasant Bay, NS in summer 2009, Lord willing. In order to do that, I won't be able to spend time scouting out the route before starting like I had hoped. And I may be a couple days late getting back to work for the fall semester.

Anyhow, here is the schedule of approximately where I hope to be on each Sunday and holiday of the paddle, as well as the cumulative distance.

• June 17 Tide Head, NB Wednesday 0 mi (0 km)
• June 21 Bathurst, NB Father's Day 76 mi (122 km)
• June 28 Inkerman, NB Sunday 218 mi (351 km)
• July 1 Val-Comeau, NB Canada Day
  
• July 5 Miramichi, NB Sunday 339 mi (546 km)
• July 12 Richibucto, NB Sunday 468 mi (753 km)
• July 19 Cap Pelé, NB Sunday 618 mi (995 km)
  
• July 26 River John, NS Sunday 768 mi (1236 km)
• August 2 Antigonish, NS Sunday 924 mi (1488 km)
• August 8 Pleasant Bay, NS Saturday 1081 mi (1740 km)
