Hello All,

There is one video attached to this entry.

After spending alot of time, effort and money building the boat were ready to go tomorrow. Were packing up tonight and look to be on the water at the Coast Gaurd Station near Burrard tomorrow am.

The build I think will be the hardest part of the trip, for me anyways. Building it in downtown Vancouver has been interesting to say the least.

Have to get back to loading the boat, so I thought I'd show a video of what the boat looks like.

The spot is activated and you can follow the link "Where are Len and Blane now" on the main page.

Comments are good and Hello to everyone and thanks to all the good info, work and "patience" from the marine world out there.

Bon Voyage!
Blane, Wow, great video. I really enjoyed watching it and seeing just how much work went into preparing your boat, I hope you and your friend Len have a great trip. It will be fun watching you travel via spot once again, only this time on the mighty ocean water instead of the open road. You live a non-rstop adventurous life, Mr Reynolds and it is super cool that you bring friends and family along for the ride! Happy travels, Jenny

Extreme Adventure
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.

That was fast!!
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
