Hog Island

Heard from Gil at 8:30 tonight. He crossed the Lake and entered the Missisquoi River around 10:00 AM this morning. To get there he had to go up and around Hog Island and then drop back down to get in the river. There was about a mile portage before he hit the river. He has a flat tire on his portage wheels so will need to get that fixed in one of the towns he goes through. I also got an email from a gentleman named Norm who talked to Gil last night at the campground on North Hero Island. He tells me that Gil looks good and is still excited about his adventure and is looking forward to Thomas doing the last leg in Maine with him. So guess he is feeling better and is looking forward to the whole trip. Thanks, Norm.
