GL: engine hours

[DavidDoy at aol.com]

Charles, it is a shame that you can't consider that others DO enjoy the  
trip, even if they go faster than you do. You obliviously did not take time to  
look at or read our site or you would know it was a very enjoyable trip. No, we  
did not do the Rideau Canal, but we plan to return and enjoy that area and 
some  others next summer. What we did do was spend our time enjoying the sights 
and  the many great folks we met along the way. We now have the luxury of  
having a preview of the trip and know some favorite places we look forward to  
visiting again on our next go around, or partial go around if that be the  case.
So, take your time and enjoy your trip, just loose the attitude that your  
way is the only way. Others can have just as much enjoyment doing what they can  
with what they got available time wise. There are lots of folks who never do  
more than dream of going. We at least have gone, and greatly enjoyed it. Life 
 circumstances and health permitting, we will do all or parts of it again.

David,

It really depends on  if you want to just do the Circle or enjoy it.

We have spent   almost exactly 12 months on it and have 5400 plus miles and 
are not yet  half way through.

For many , if not most that is the full trip. I do  not have my log with me 
rt now but I think we put abt 500 hrs on the  engines so far.

For instance, we did the Rideau Canal in Canada that is  125 miles long---we 
spent 3 weeks!
