Began following your trip while on a road a trip in June to California with 12 year old grandchild. We originally were following you via projectniu.org. Then switched to your site to see progress on a daily basis with GPS data. Bravo to see women making news in what should be a call to many young women to find there are still adventures to be made. My interest in women explorers was piqued when I first heard about 2 women who walked both polar regions in 2002. Their adventure was covered in a book; No Horizon Is So Far: Two Women and Their Extraordinary Journey Across Antarctica - by Liv Arnesen & Ann Bancroft. They didn’t let their age get in the way either. At ages 45 and 47, the two former schoolteachers set out to become the first women to cross Antarctica on foot. American Ann Bancroft and Norwegian Liv Arnesen would walk, ski, and ski-sail for nearly three months in temperatures as low as -35F, towing 250-pound supply sledges across two thousand miles of crevasse-ridden ice while connecting with millions of schoolchildren via Web site transmissions and satellite phone calls. 2 kewl. You go girl :-) Marion Roz, great to read about your accomplishment – again, when I checked your website today.

It was one of the more inspirational sea books I've read in a long time. Unfortunately, I'm in the Midwest and flying out to east coast to have my booked signed is out of the question (I have excess miles and haven't had good clam chowder in a while but I need a weeks notice for work). I would like to do a Northwest passage myself (Not rowing. It just sounds a little too brutal). Please let us in the Midwest know when you'll be back. Hi Roz,

You were funny, beautiful, inspirational and very gracious with your time. The setting was very relaxed (maybe a tad too much for you :-) People beer in hand and tomatoes and basil being cut for dinner on the same table where you signed your book - I loved it. Met some great people afterward. Was looking forward to meet your #1 fan Karen Morss but didn't recognize her in the crowd. Please pass my email on to Joan - sebastian@truekayaking.com. Good luck with the rest of your tour. Do well in Copenhagen (very much in the news lately) and looking forward to communicate with you again in April.

Why not just a simple bookstore signing as you are doing in other cities? Congratulations on your publication and book tour.

Re the times, please use the times in the blog. If you look at the Upcoming Appearances widget, it points out that the appointments are in the Hawaii time zone. It's a pain that I can't set it to use local time - that is why I wrote the blog to clarify and try to avoid confusion. Evan and I are trying to address this problem but it seems to be just a feature of iCal. Sorry for any discombobulation caused! Glad you’re enjoying the book, John!

Nevertheless I will hold good energy for a highly successful session and book tour and hope you can enjoy it without getting exhausted! At least you have a few days in SF and a couple in Seattle--not too big jumps so the west coast may be a pleasant time--I sure hope so--you've earned it!

It really helps with book sales! Interesting to hear about Dame Ellen. VERY interesting, in fact! I have a connection in her organization - will try to contact her. Looking forward to seeing as many of you as can make it to book signings - do make sure to identify yourself as loyal blog-followers!

I'm off to bike ride in Florida from the 6-21 so I'll just have to make other arrangements for my book signing. I got my copy on Friday and read it, laughing out loud at some of your comments and holding my breath during your Row Across the Atlantic in others. Bless Mum's heart for her supportive comments or non comment as the trip unfolded. You have grown considerably Roz from the Atlantic to the Pacific; can you feel the change? Best of sales on your book tour, take care of yourself and enjoy the folks who have traveled vicariously with you on your journey.

Unfortunately I didn't get to choose the list of cities. The Simon & Schuster publicity team did. I'd have loved to include Chicago, Atlanta, Asheville and Hawaii and many other places besides, but it was not an option. Hey, stop beating me up!
