> Gutsy paddling lawyer selects non-Mariner boat for big adventure: > http://www.sacbee.com/content/lifestyle/story/10371564p-11291327c.html >From the article above: "But few, if any, have taken the solo route planned by de la Fuente." Truly gutzy (or maybe nutzy) paddling non-lawyer Timo Noko didn't just talk about doing it. No political agenda or prior announcement. Just went out and did it (maybe that's why there weren't any newspaper articles promoting his journey beforehand?). Interesting character. Truly interesting story and fun read at: http://www.kolumbus.fi/timo.noko/mexico/eng.html Lots of folks have talked about/attempted epic journeys. Some have actually completed them. Some journey with no designated end. >From de la Fuente - "I wanted to make a difference, and this just came to me," he says with a shrug. Well, ok. Whatever floats your boat.
