Yikes. So sorry to hear that the adventure is on hold, but surely the right decision. I won't be showing Susie the description of leg 2 or I'll never get her in a boat again, but hats off to the pair of you for an amazing effort!

Congrats on progress so far especially given weather challenges. Good work out-tacking a gas rig! Best wishes for wherever you rejoin.
