Holmes. I still have my Nordkapp that I ordered from VCP in '76 which enabled much exploring of the west coast of VI in the 70's & 80's so 'twould have been good to talk for awhile (I'm from the UK originally too) though it sounded like you were ready for rest that day.<BR/><BR/>Here's hoping you beat the record.<BR/><BR/>Malcolm JollyWhalemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687851820876351243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468685253062868053.post-36600140589786393692008-10-09T19:16:00.000-07:002008-10-09T19:16:00.000-07:00Now Sean is north of Campbell River.

We chatted for a quarter of an hour or so. He is missing family lots, of course.<BR/><BR/>What a remarkable achievement he is headed towards. I paddled around the Island earlier this year with a friend. It took us 9 weeks (though we did tend to stop to smell the cedar and examine nooks, crannies and caves). I am full of admiration for what Sean is doing, and was knocked out by how quiet and unassuming he is. He is a fantastic ambassador for our sport.<BR/><BR/>I hope he sleeps well tonight - he is right under the flightpath of our local airport as you can see from the satellite view on his Spot page. Fortunately it is a pretty sleepy little airport so there won't be many flights after it is dark.<BR/><BR/>The forecast here is for northwesterlies tomorrow, getting up to 15-25 knots in the afternoon. Fingers crossed that they are not that strong.<BR/><BR/>Jonathan RegglerJonathan Regglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926845184366475098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468685253062868053.post-69988561933984947562008-10-08T20:23:00.000-07:002008-10-08T20:23:00.000-07:00Sean, we are amazed at your fortitude, with the hi...Sean, we are amazed at your fortitude, with the high winds and seas and soreness.
