Title: Taking a trip
Post by: John Hopkins on April 09, 2015, 14:13:39 PM
As the weather is nice I have decided to head towards Canada on my Drifter.

I don't have a passport so may have to stop at the border so I won't make it quite all the way to Canada.

Here is my route.

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Tredegar/St+David's,+Pembrokeshire,+UK/@51.7351193,-5.4022512,8z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x486e242663d70875:0x52ea2d60f1d9174d!2m2!1d-3.246775!2d51.772619!1m5!1m1!1s0x48691e47fb20bc7b:0xec586386ceb84399!2m2!1d-5.265995!2d51.881227

If any of you who have passports and want to meet up, just let me know.

John.

Your fuel stop in St. Davids looks ok, but after that it looks as if the humidity gets significantly higher!  One might even say, unbelievably high!

As long as you put a snorkel on the Drifter, should be OK.

Maybe you can get Ratman to meet you half way??

 ;D  That will be a trip alright!

If you make it to the Canadian border, I don't think you will need to worry about lack of a passport   ::)

I will follow your lead and start planning a trip to Maui...
From Alaska...
On my Drifter    8)

 ;)  JH once you have entered Canadian waters just feel free to use my name, and it will speed things along for you.

Yeah Ratman, I've been caught like that before, CMP probably have you on their most wanted list. I use your name and nobody ever hears from me again..

I think I might just wait for continental drift to get rid of the wet bit, or until they finish building the bridge.
