The arrival to Welland, Ontario was relatively routine with no problems. The Toronto 5:30pm rush-hour traffic on the 401 was expected but uneventful. I made a side trip to drop of my pair partner, Eric, at his parents house in St. Catherines to make sure he got home safe. I don't want anything to happen to that guy, especially in the next five days. The kitchen is stocked with food and everything is going as planned. Tomorrow we check to see if our boat arrived from Victoria safely and in one piece. The weather is decent right now, but as you can see below, it may get a bit cooler and more "seasonal" or typical. Tonight was very foggy all the way through from Hamilton to Welland. Hopefully it doesn't prevent us from rowing tomorrow morning.
For a quick refresher where Welland is located. It is on the Niagara Region of Southern Ontario. about 30 minutes from Niagara Falls and 30min from Hamilton. The rowing course is on an old arm of the Welland Canal, circa 1827. This map below is the training water, roughly 4km in length with a certified 2000m course on the south end.
