Sorry about the Rain. Hey! If I had known you would have been passing through my home of Chilliwack, I would have taken ya for a Tim Horton's! Best of luck with the "fire" portion of your adventures, I think you will sufficently be on fire once you ascend to the snowy Coquilhalla Summit...stay dry and warm.
Thanks! Thanks for the advice Mark!! No worries about the bears; I'm armed to the teeth with bear flares, as well as mace for dogs, and a kerosene flamethrower for zombies.
Good luck! Bring a spare!! Hey Clive, best of luck on this one! One thing you always do well is prepare for the worst so I guess I don't need to tell you to bring a spare heh! I'd also consider a satellite phone, and something for the bears, they love meals on wheels haha!
Best Of Luck! Hey Clive!!!! I wonder about you now and again, i will never for get your other Journeys!!!! I'll fly above ya on this on too!
Great to see ya!
Christine
Upcoming adventure! Hope you have a great time on your next adventure, this is something that I really want to do some day - it's just a matter of convincing the other half.
Take care & be safe!

Fungi This fungi was not brittle. My fungi identification may be incorrect! I saw it a lot in Haida Gwaii, but have not seen it elsewhere on the West Coast so far.
Whangarei Hi There. Thanks for your question. I finished the trip in April 2009... did you see the orange boat, "Quickenning" that was in my last blog entry? I crewed on that boat for my final stretch but left in Panama.
I would be curious to hear where Quickenning is now sailing and if she's still owned by the same French couple.
Cheers
Thanks Thanks for your comment - and good luck with the journey!
I will be biking across Canada next. I will be begin posting new blog entries, starting in May. Cheers!
Several Species You have several species in this shot. Near the bottom right, under the yellow crust is sea liver. The red-orange, is the sun sponge (Hymeniacidon heliophila). The yellow is a type of living boulder coral, where as the rocky substrate around it is part of that organism that has died. The green branches look like a dead branching coral covered in green filamentous algae. Sadly, Caribbean coral has experience rapid declines in the past few years. The bright white spots look like they can be a fungus.
I'm not particularly good with invertebrates, so this is the best I can offer.
Hello, my name's Laura, i'm 18 and I live in Switzerland. I'm doing a work of maturity for my diploma of the end of study. My work is entitled " Religions strange for Vanuatu and in Oceania ". I have to make an interview and I wondered if it would be possible to ask to you some questions (that is by email or by skype) on your journey in Vanuatu for my presentation.
I look forward of your news Greetings

We're following ya HI, We will be sailing from UK to Australia starting June 2012 and just 'doing it' no timetable but a definite route via Panama, Galapagos etc. I can spend time with the faeries quite easily, expectign lots in the sky adn water when I'm on watch. Anyway, love the above and you 've pointed out soem areas that we will have to address ( there will be four of us) ie how we deal with the pissy times thoughts et al - no where to hide on a 35' ;O) I was thinkign we could keep one berth for soem 'alone time' when anyone needs that... where are you headed next? Good Luck and winds, Molly
purple club coral in northern Maine I found PCC in a wet boggy area in northern Maine in Sept 2010. It was brittle. The references I've found say "found on pacific coast. Is it rare up here?
Circumnavigation We were traveling separately, so to the best of my knowledge I was the only one to complete the circumnavigation. Zach needs only a few more miles to complete it and will have hopefully done so already. Alex is focusing future travels via bicycle in Europe.
Aries Hey, sorry for not noticing - or responding - to your message until now. Amazing to cross paths online with you, and thanks for building Aries - as far as I know she's still floating and feisty as always - and she provided some amazing memories I'll always carry with me. Cheers!
Welcome to the Stinky Feet Project!
Welcome to the ongoing series of four adventures, dubbed the "Stinky Feet Project". Each adventure is a journey into one of the four elements (fire, water, earth, air).
The most recent adventure was "Fire", an 8000-kilometre bicycle journey across Canada from May to August 2011, following a variety of recreational trails and unpaved highways starting at the Pacific Ocean in British Columbia and finishing at the Atlantic Ocean in Nova Scotia.
The Stinky Feet Project is 3/4 done - in 2008-2009, I completed a very wet and wild adventure explorin... full info
