That is about all the Zen I can muster for you. LOL Keep up the great work.

I also reported on your behalf that you did not observe the crescent last night, it was <i>partly cloudy</i> and your location from RozTracker was 04'41"N 175'13"W.<br /> <br />Hoping you observe the crescent tonight. Please let me know cloud conditions and the time if you observe it. Depending on the clouds, it should be faint but clearly visible for about two hours after sunset.UncaDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04877671645697493385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28434997.post-77586585180189091972009-07-23T17:11:46.494+00:002009-07-23T17:11:46.494+00:00oh yeah, Asheville is truly a beautiful place.

The "lessons learned" verbiage in the title is soooo project management. I'm sorry you didn't get to pick a more creative title. Some of us from my office will attend any book signings you have in LA - if you come here.<br /><br />It's amazing how tan you aren't in your photos. If it were me, you'd wonder about my true nationality. I'd look like the islanders within 2 weeks. Are you wearing any sunglasses? That would be a good sponsorship for the next row. Sunburned eyeballs are no fun. Check out BUGZ. I use those for sailing, as well as some funky looking half jackets by Oakley for kayaking. <br /><br />We are experiencing a heat wave in So Cal at the moment. Everyday has been over 100degF for the past couple of weeks. We can see the monsoonal clouds forming in the east, but they aren't quite bringing rain to us. <br /><br />I understand about the fresh water feel after being in salt water for so long. It's very creative of you to write an interesting article (blog) about that. Some of us might not know how wonderful fresh water can be.<br /><br />Be safe!Sindy Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459082246793185441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28434997.post-76496053914961171992009-07-23T16:31:11.294+00:002009-07-23T16:31:11.294+00:00Hey Roz.

So glad to hear you'll be stopping by SF, would love a chance to meet you, or at least, catch glimpses of you through a large crowd. <br /><br />Have you considered cutting your hair into a short bob for the next leg of the journey?

Just doesn't have the same ring to it. <br /><br />So glad you took the opportunity to do something that felt good and lifted your spirits. <br /><br />Greg, I believe Roz reported sometime last week that the boobies had finally flown off and not returned.<br /><br />Does anyone know what time zone Roz is actually in right now? I think it's GMT -11 or -12. As I figure it these days, as we east coasters are getting up for the day, she is hitting the bunk.Joan in Atlantahttp://www.facebook.com/joantsherwoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28434997.post-69061691668591271482009-07-23T14:03:21.840+00:002009-07-23T14:03:21.840+00:00Roz, you don't talk much about bare essentials...Roz, you don't talk much about bare essentials, but it is obvious that shampooing ones hair is not on the list ... omg 2 months! I just gotta shower and shampoo first thing every day ... you put into perspective where the priorities lie. This is a glimpse into how your list of daily activities must fit into a complex jigsaw puzzle that is constantly changing and rearranging with time, wind, seas, squalls, currents, fauna, sun, moon, blisters, rashes ... and emotions I would guess, too.<br /><br />Accepting a <i>bad situation</i> of high winds blowing you way off our course -- your inability to overcome nature -- and taking advantage of the "lull" in your rowing to freshen up really demonstrates flexibility in setting and resetting priorities. And with a great positive attitude all the while.<br /><br />You Rock Rowing Roz!<br /><br />We'll see you on <a href="http://live.twit.tv" rel="nofollow">http://live.twit.tv</a> <b><i>LIVE!</i></b> at 10:30 AM Hawaii time (1:30 PT, 4:30 ET) -- today Thursday, July 23.
