I guess I could if you were :) @mark - Thank you so much for the kind comments, I really appreciate it and hope we can have a drink when I get back to Melbourne. I'm not sure if I'm the man, or if what I'm doing is any greater than anything else, but I'm quite sure you've done many things I'd look at the same way. Thank you again. @mary – Are you serious?

Mate, I bow down to your determination, passion, and seamanship. I particularly commend you on your courage for following your dreams, even it all seams impossible. I have longed for the ocean voyage for many years, but other mountains always seam to need to be climbed first. YOU are the man!! Here in Melbourne (Mt Evelyn) each month seams like the last as we each try to make a life (or a living?) 29 Days across the atlantic, a little less to New York. Just think - in each of those months you achieved far great than I, or most of us, have in the last five years. You seam to take it in your stride. It's just another passage. But even amongst passionate sailors what you have achieved is totally outstanding. You have my greatest respect and encouragement. Hi Nick,
