Hi Beech Boys, flying fish eh ? Does that mean you'll be frying flying fish for protein supplement ?Having lived off expedition rations for 6 weeks, I know your taste buds will appreciate the curry and chilli ! Keep going, we're all VERY impressed here. David .

So how is your team mate managing to attract the flying fish! I guess you should all learn to duck! It is snowing here in Edmonton, big fat flakes just slowly coming down. All the trees and bushes are covered in frost so everything looks picture perfect - except that it is icy and there are a lot of cars in the ditch!
I can't imagine how cool it would be to row along side the dolphins. As you can see I am reading the blog on your website as well!
Take care, Row hard!
