Passing over the many bodies of water on our way to Toronto, we were able to spot quite a few birds:

• a double-crested cormorant
• Canadian geese
• a blue jay
• a kingfisher (fishing!)
• a red-breasted nuthatch
• a pileated woodpecker

In many ways, our fairings cushioned us from our environment.

• lowering the air turbulence
• blocking the sun’s heat
• shielding us from the rain
• regulating our perspiration and heat flow
• distributing the force of gravity over more of our bodies

After the rains, we made good use out of our tents. We will have a couple more chances before arriving in Toronto.
