Too me Alaska never seemed so far away. ------------ Gordin, Great little report. Thanks. Hope the two brotheres get some nice weather soon. Hope they learn to get better at judging distances. But, then I'm sure they will be beyond expert status by the time they hit Juneau, but especially by the time they return to Victoria down the outside. That is, if they make it. I hope they do, and in the time they have alotted and without incident. Did they ever get drysuits? If they didn't, it could be a long cold spring for them. Alaska might seem very far away to them too. As fellow paddlers, I'm sure we all give them are best wishes, prayers, and positive thoughts. And I'm glad you were a good friend and source of encouragement to them. You better hope they make it (okay, okay...just a little levity, Gordin!). I'm sure they will.
