Then enclose one with special copies of the Atlantic book, as a souvenir from the Pacific trip. I would think that it would be a treat for readers to have a (Larabar) bookmark that had actually been on one of the journeys.

Barrow via the Bearing Straights, along the coastline of Siberia -- or the Northwest Passage if you like -- thence southerly passing by the British Isles and stop over for a pint of brew (blimey!); onward by Bahamas and Brazil to see blue whales in Drakes Passage or Tierra del Fuego as you prefer, thence a lap around Antarctica and back to Brisbane. Mission accomplished. Another whole new meaning to 'bottoms up' -- think about it. Maybe you could weave '350' into it ... perhaps stop 10 degrees short of a complete loop. You surely would get an endorsement from Bill M and 350.org<br /><br />Better yet, kick it off Oct 24 at Big Ben via Copenhagen where you board Brocade and off you go ... just kidding ;-DUncaDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04877671645697493385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28434997.post-63459499234610254082009-07-03T14:50:54.574+00:002009-07-03T14:50:54.574+00:00Roz, what are your plans after you finish the Paci...Roz, what are your plans after you finish the Pacific?

Joan's question is similar to my pondering when I see snowcapped mountain tops hundreds of miles away -- specifically the 13,000 peaks of Yosemite as seen from the central valley of California. Your blog and Joan's question have motivated me to actually do some research, and I found this ...<br /><br />=== Estimating Distance While Paddling ===<br />Practical Geometry for Kayakers & Canoeists <br /><br />http://www.roguepaddler.com/distance.htm<br /><br />For the math enthusiast: Have fun with this calculation. I figure Roz would not see clouds 1 degree of longitude or latitude if they are below 4,600' altitude ... so we need to know how high the weather clouds get out there. That is a good question for the weather guy.<br /><br />Also, the equation may only apply to short distances -- like paddling on a large lake -- and objects that are not very tall. The examples on the RoguePaddler.com are a small island and a tree viewed from a distance of a few miles. Anybody know if the equation applies accurately to ~70 mile distances or ~5,000' heights ... or greater?<br /><br />Yesterday, Joan in Atlanta asked the question...<br /><br />"Here's another question to add to your list, and maybe the Weather Guy can help out with this. On the ocean, with a day of good visibility, how far away can you see distant weather events, like storms? For instance, could you spot a storm in the ITCZ when you're still a full degree of latitude away from it?"UncaDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04877671645697493385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28434997.post-64008673617555528302009-07-03T13:44:15.265+00:002009-07-03T13:44:15.265+00:00Your spirit is inspiring, Roz.

You are closing in on the Equator at a very fast rate and congratulations on breaking into single digits.
