| 26th November 2009 Brad Reynolds | Keep the dream alive! - From: Out there Your "Stash" is looking good Blane! That's the mark of a maple over chevrons. Your pistol man looks like he is all about meters and inches. Deadly. Keep up the moral and know your brother is here keeping it real in Canadistan. Peace out. P.S. Looks like your truckers could use a little training and your bugs could use a little less free radicals! |
| 22nd November 2009 Cherri | another Pacific disturbance - From: Out there Hi Blane, Enjoyed your photos and the descriptions...couldn't help contrasting the obvious dry, sandy terrain with what we've been experiencing for the past two weeks. You guessed it: screaming southeasters and horizontal rain sometimes fat almost-snow. Mount Washington has so much snow that they're opening next weekend much to the delight of the skiers in the family. Your Dad is busy working on his boat...promised your Mum a whole month of cruising next July, so now he's really committed to the project. Mum has decided not to pack her bags until she sees it at the gas dock! Plans for Bruce's wedding are moving along...wish you could be here for the big day. Looking forward to more news....stay safe. Love, Cherri PS Love the moustache...very Clark Gable! |
| 21st November 2009 Lou | Glad to see you - From: Out there Hey, Blane Glad to see your blog up and running, now we have a feel for the area and conditions you are in! Keep the info. coming please. Dang, I just mailed you a parcel, if I had of known you were short of blades for your razor I would have sent some.... actually the moustache looks great. Stay alert, Love Mom xo |
| 15th September 2009 anonymous | - From: Mexico daie de Indepencia hi wuts up |
| 1st August 2009 M | Good weather and safe trip for the rest of it - From: Day 1 Vancouver to Blind Channel Wow, I have just returned from Greece but it seems that my trip pales compared to your journey. I just hope that my brown colour will still remain there and not turn yellow because of all the enviness and gelousy and etc and etc aand etc.. I now have to cope with!! Although I have noticed that it is kind of noisy in your boat, you may be lucky to hear the seashell... Poseidon, mighty god of the seas was attracted to all the godess and women he would see. One day though, the dance of Amphitrite stirrs the tenderness in his heart. Not knowing how to deal with this new feeling, he uses his usual methods to have her, and makes her run and hide herself into the bottom of the sea. Realising he has lost The One and failing to find her, Poseidon is filled with great sadness. Impressed, his friend Delphinus (the Dolphin) volunteers to search for her and plead his case. He succeeds in his mission and Amphitrite becomes the Queen of the Seas. But, as the gods do not die (at least not so soon! ) like Romeo and Juliet, poor Poseidon returned to his old habits, and thus the story of the marriage begins :-).. .. … …………….... And even nowadays, my dear readers, when you hear the sound of a seashell, you will know that it is their son Triton riding with Poseidon in his chariot across the waters, trumpeting a sea shell to announce Poseidon's arrival. |

| 22nd July 2009 J.L. | That was fast!! - From: Were ready to set off to Alaska Hey Blane, I am amazed at how fast you got to Ketchikan. I could see by spot, you and Len spent many hours a day in your 15 ft boat (your bottoms must of got very numb). It was fun watching your journey. I can only imagine how beautiful the trip must of been. I am looking forward to a blog entry telling all about your adventure as you travelled on the ocean! I guess the adventure continues as you make your way back...... Jenny |

| 18th July 2009 John Tak | Extreme Adventure - From: Were ready to set off to Alaska Hey Len! Seems that you're near Mt. Robson Provincial Park and making good time. I'm very impressed with, and envious of, your excellent adventure. But seriously Dude, what's wrong with getting to Alaska on Holland America Lines. Let's grab a beer when you get back. John T. |

| 18th July 2009 Ray Reynolds | Alaska bound - From: Great to hear from you in Alert Bay , I was working on the computer today and brought up spot just in time to see you were in blind channel. I phoned and enquired if you guys were there and the girl said , they are just heading out from the dock should I try and flag them down? I said thanks but no. Sounds like the boat is performing well and you should have no problems with the open crossing if the weather continues to coperate . Cheers Ray |

| 25th September 2008 danharris | getting closer - From: El Salvador accepts the Reynolds. Believe it. looks like you've nearly made it. some might say your at the skinny part of the americas. i was curious as to if you're finding internet terminals fewer and farther between? that dingo might come in handy after all, eh inglés. life is pretty routine up here. frosty windows this morning... -3 C. i looked up the peace today(everyday), from dunvegan bridge. the valley has rapidly transformed from what it was as you left it; to a brilliant yellow aspen autumn that seems to illuminate in the sunrise. the first breaths of winters bite have arrived. how bout you? the spot says you're still on the go. through two borders today? i am excited to hear about the last couple days. if you do need to use that dingo, click connect on your desktop. read a couple boxes. choose an interface. "eth0" is a good first choice. ciao danharris |
| 23rd September 2008 Cherri | Beach time? - From: El Salvador accepts the Reynolds. Believe it. Tues afternoon, SPOT tells me that you are well into Costa Rica, near the coast...the satellite photo looks like you're having a rest off the highway! Hope you'll take some time out of your endurance-test pace to enjoy the beaches and countryside in that beautiful part of the world. C. |

| 22nd September 2008 gord & joanne | Your how old????? - From: El Salvador accepts the Reynolds. Believe it. Happy B-Day Brad !! Hard to believe that your 30 but, it has to happen sometime. Why not on an adventure with the boys in unknown territory. We have enjoyed your updates but question the pictures as they appear very dark on our screen. Is there a way to brighten the images so we can see clearly? Blane, have you noticed the satelite dish angles down there as we discussed. Bet they're damn near upwards. Enough for now Keep safe---Gord & Joanne |
