Final Report on The Bay Expedition by Patrick Stark
Hello Everyone,
I returned from my expedition a few weeks ago, it was a great success. Approximately $7500 was raised for the Georgian Bay Land Trust. Thanks to everyone who donated!
I have a link from my website www.patrickstark.com <http://www.patrickstark.com> to my photo gallery and I have added a few items to the media page. There’s a new podcast interview with me and I added a few newspaper articles including the National Post piece. There will be several more magazine articles and an upcoming TV appearance so watch the website for updates.
I want to give a special thanks to a few people (in no particular order). Adam McDowell for his wonderful piece in the National Post <http://www.nationalpost.com/todays_paper/story.html?id=633349> , Tim Dyer of White Squall <http://www.whitesquall.com> for supplying me with some much needed food and gear, Sue Russel for the great cookout at Mini-Cog Island, the Bell family for the beach front hospitality at Cedar Point, Andre, Ingrid, Tiger and Panther for making my time in Tiny Township so comfortable, Alex and Sarah for the day of rest in Collingwood, Al and Keri for the backyard tent site and the tasty honey <http://www.mycollingwood.ca/the_honey_house.asp> in Thornbury, Andy for the hotdogs and waterfront campsite near the tank range, Harold for flying my father in for a visit at Cabot Head, Bob and Sue for the amazing experience at the Cove Island Lightstation <http://www.coveisland.ca> , Mike and Kathy for accompanying me during the last week of the expedition, my uncle Bob for flying in our missing tent poles, Wendy Cooper of the GBLT for helping out in many ways, 3G Lighting for giving me the time off, my mother for insisting I get a satellite beacon, my father for driving Kathy and Mike up to Killarney in the boat, and another big thanks to Kathy for preparing a bunch of my food and driving up to Tobermory for a visit!
