It is like a glimpse of time that occured thousands of years ago. The entire experience resonates with me and by the looks of you in the photo it did with you as well. I am conscience of the environment so the cause of your adventure had no profound impact upon me. The spiritual interconnectiveness of humanity had a profound impact upon me. Congrats Roz!

It brought tears of joy to my eyes. We can see your joy, some sort of anguish and relief on your face and the trepidation on Nicole's. Roz you look wonderful. No massage for Brocade but she needs a serious facial :-) The people of Tarawa are so beautiful too - What a welcome! 103 days at sea and all these hard bodies - sister your head must have been spinning :-) BTW when I sent you 1,335,834 bravos the other day you need to know that I actually clapped 1,335,834 (give or take a few) or 7 sessions of 1/2 hour for a total of 3 and 1/2 hours of applause. Must be a record here too. Congrasts! Sebastian Beautiful! It brought tears of joy to my eyes. We can see your joy, some sort of anguish and relief on your face and the trepidation on Nicole’s.

I especially loved the Roz-Nicole swimming meetup pictures. Proves that any-temperature-beer is a good beer, under the right circumstances. And what a delightful welcoming ceremony. Roz, you earned every bit of this! What an amazing demonstration of strength you showed, especially during the last two days of the row! Fabulous pictures.
