This is a fellow Fulbrighter Rachel, who, with her husband, father-in-law and uncle-in-law, sailed from Mexico through the Panama Canal, up to Ireland, and up through the treacherous North Sea before docking at Kristiansand and tomorrow heading up to Oslo. We had a wonderful afternoon on their boat hearing their stories of seeing bottle-nose and spinner dolphins, orca whales, sperm whales, barracudas and sharks amidst the plastic trash strewn in patches throughout the ocean.Tuesday, August 10, 2010

Living in Seattle, I am within a few miles of several marinas, each filled with hundreds of similar boats. Nice to see that they all don't just live at the marina, that they truly CAN sail around the world. Congrats to Rachel on her long successful voyage.
