Who would have figured it would be safer to do an Atlantic crossing than water skiing in Canada - although doing it with a crazy Russian is pretty close Ba ha ha ha ha ha . Guess you don't break your neck though. Really miss you guys and I'll be back - bigger, meaner and a more politically incorrect !! Had the time of my life boys and miss ya all. Strike !!

Big congratulations. I’m sure deeper friendships have been forged during the crossing/adventure; especially with just the three of you and having to dig that much deeper ... although looks like weather Gods have been on your side for the most part. Sure you’re looking forward to investigating some of the islands! I wonder what exotic swimming animals might be in store for you here!!! Would love to hook up for a chat as and when. Are you planning on swinging by Peniche for old time sake? He he he Looking forward to the next post; until then safe travels and have a blast ... M P.S. Great photo with Todd in the barrow ... or was that the ambulance? Hey Brotha,
