What a wonderful lesson for kids. Leave your spouse. Pursue YOUR dreams. It's all about YOU. This woman is the kind of person that wakes up one day after chasing HER happiness for so many years and says "I forgot to have kids..." Geez. We do not need anymore of these "It's all about me" types. Oh great. What a wonderful lesson for kids. Leave your spouse. Pursue YOUR dreams. It’s all about YOU.

Its bad enough in Hawaii and even worse,in Tahiti, Fiji, etc. The "need to know someone who knows someone" is the same all thru the pacific (Hawaii again good example. Its all simply the culture...the locals like it that way so its not going to change. Obviously yu guys have figured it out so just go with the flow...be friendly and appreciative and all will go well. Enhanced “island time” is not exactly surprising.

Enjoy! I hope the wind and current have settled down a bit for you. I gave offerings to Neptune on your behalf ;-D Abemama Atoll is just too close for comfort to allow Brocade to drift -- or so it appears on RozTracker -- so it is comforting to know you are hard a work under the full moon, making sure you skirt around the north side. Your dropping the sea anchor earlier today scared me a bit, seeing the trajectory of your drift heading directly toward Abemama. Sorry your lost your watch in the process. It's just a thing, but your voice was telling. You are soooo close I am guessing you will definitely pull an all-nighter tonight to be sure and stay clear of Abemama. Fortunately you have the advantage of having maximum moon light. BTW, it will be fullest at 4:03 AM where you are. I must be a glorious night for you under the moon ... the moon here is so full and it had a creamy golden tint as it rose low on the horizon ... probably due to the smoke an haze from the fires in Yosemite and in the foothills up toward Lake Tahoe (they are calling that one the 49er fire because it is near Hwy 49). So glad to hear your your voice on the Evoca Tell recording. Very nice surprise, although you sound fatigued. We'll be happy when you are on shore and can relax. It is a sprint to the <i>eye of the needle</i> now and we know you can do it. Roz’s Tweet: 9/3/09 8:21PM – full moon rising from the ocean…

I had fun, recognized the dangers, and smashed up a dugout and my leg on the east side above the airport. I don't think the dangers of the shores have lessened over the decades, so truly appreciate your strategem. You and Roz are peas in the same pod.

Roz would be "lost" without you. Working with an island population is a real challenge and you sound like you are doing a marvelous job getting things done. Try to ignore the well-intended comments that are critical of the team's plan. You really are on the right track. It is reassuring to hear you say that Roz still has adequate provisions. Contrary to what many believe Roz is a lot safer at sea. Approaching the beach with shoals and breaking waves is the most dangerous part of her journey. I truly hope that you are successful finding an escort for our intrepid traveler. I hope that you and Hunter recover quickly. I will be checking in regularly as we get closer to Roz's arrival.

Nicole's experience is different but comparable in her field. It behooves the rest of us to respect the fact that you both know what you are doing and have greater and more detailed knowledge about conditions than we possibly can. Nicole - your preceding comments are most apt. Having worked a little with Roz when she had to deal with almost everything herself I am greatly relieved that you make such an impressive team, especially in view of the particular difficulties inherent in this, Stage 2.

Most people probably just didn’t think about that kind of reasoning in your asking Roz to slow it down if she could. Don’t worry too much about the naysayers on the internet, do what you guys need to get Roz in safely. Go Roz Go!

Sounds like the "zings" need to settle down! The reasons for the timing cited here make perfect sense. The first concern is a safe landing. If anyone thinks they could do it better or more sensibly perhaps they should start their own journey. Good luck Roz, looking forward to the well deserved celebration! Stay Safe!

You and your whole team are amazing!!!! Today my 11 year old son took his message of worm composting to school -the principal called me and asked if it would be possible to set up a verimculture (worm) composter for the kids at school as an ongoing project!!! We're very excited!!! One little ripple in the big ocean does make a difference Go Roz GO!!! You and your whole team are amazing!!!!
