Preparation day

I flew here on Wednesday with over 130 pounds of gear, and a 50 pound generator.
Today we bought equipment and food, tested the generator, and installed anchor lights.

THEN we tried to get all the stuff to fit on the boats.

I tried a big waterproof tub, but there is not enough room.
After purging some items and repacking in several smaller bags, I think my stuff will fit.
I have a lot of 3mil contractor plastic bags to protect everything when it starts to rain.
Luckily, we have a forecast of a week of good weather.

Tomorrow we launch!
It is 262 miles from the Genesse river to the Troy Locks at the Hudson River.
