Geoff is now up and walking around. His staples came out a week ago this past Wednesday, at which point he stopped walking with crutches and started using a cane instead. This past Friday during physio (they are so great at the Queensway Carleton Hospital - thanks Raphael!), he gave up on the splint and started walking without any support. He is still a bit shaky, but getting stronger every day. He is ahead of the surgeon's "schedule" for his recovery.Now that Geoff is mobile, we have started running around and dealing with the last few to-do items we had put on hold. We are also working on putting our mast steps on (shown in photo), so that we can climb the mast should that ever be necessary.
Our plans for leaving have just become solidified over the last few days. The date for our departure is now set for this coming Friday the 28th of September, which will leave us about 12 days to make it to Kingston before the locks on the Rideau Canal close on October 10th.
