With a crew of 3, Frank, Chris and Ginger Bear, MELODEON left Fraser Park Marina in Trenton, Ontario, Canada in 2009.

Enjoyed reading your blog! Some day you'll have to spin your travels into a book for those of us that can't make the journey. Wishing you calm seas and fare winds.

Great, super great !!!!
I had two blogs to catch up on. Been down watching whales in the St. Lawrence and spending time in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea. The two weeks were spent camping with Niece and Nephew. I would have rather been boating; but camping is good too for meeting interesting folks and story telling. Cheers, M&M
