Keirron Tastagh and Jeff Norville will be attempting to Circumnavigate 
Vancouver Island, (700 miles) in a 2 weeks time frame later this year, 
hoping to halve the current record.  Not sure why so much training, other 
than the physical propulsion needed. Of course, they may be traveling in 
less than ideal weather attempting to maintain the pace.

Seems like a good cause too. Didn't know Ginni from Dave Kruger's neck of 
the woods had dealt with breast cancer.

Scroll down a dozen-plus screens to "Goodbye party at the office," for a 
slice of pure Ginni ... the first stanza:

'A banner hung over the doorway. Goodbye Lefty All the body parts milled 
about the refreshment table. Leftys partner and best friend Righty had 
just finished making the farewell speech.'

I laugh and I cry when I read it.  Ginni is all woman and all heart.
