David— Logging some 70,000 miles under sail! What a feat for an Iowa boy. I was once asked how did an Iowan get so taken with off shore sailing to which I replied that it’s only logical when we Iowans are equidistant between the world’s two largest oceans with a Great Lakes kicker if you want a change and some cold fresh water. Godspeed to Polar Sun her brave crew.
This is a big one though. I’ve never crossed the Pacific. I’ve always been around the poles, Atlantic or coastal sailing the Pacific. This one is epic!

Fascinating! I’m the opposite of an adventurer or explorer so
this is simply in another world.
Glad you liked it. Coffee or a beer or both when I get home end of May. See you in SL!
I’ll do both!
Chasing dreams? I’m so impressed because you’re living your dreams!

Well written Mr.T ! And the praise to Pope Francis was remarkable. I did not know about his interest with climate science.
