TomT,

The Armada of 6 left Zup’s this morning for an early morning tow to Black Robe Portage for the 1st leg of a 13 night 14 day trip. There are 4 soloists: Jimbo and his brother, Denton Doc and Magic Paddler. There is one tandem: Pineknot and son.

I was planning to go with this Armada but I had knee surgery for a torn meniscus on June 8th and I had to cancel out as the knee is not stable enough to take on the rigours of rocky portage’s. I am pretty bummed out as I have gone to the Q every year but one since 1979.

I am looking at maybe going up to the Q perhaps the first week of September. Jimbo and MP are interested in going as well. Jimbo mentioned the possibility of hooking up with you on Sturgeon when you are there.

Jimbo will be sending me a SPOT message to let me know the location as the Armada trip progresses.
