I worry about you every day. I guess you needed to do that for all of us and make us realize what you are doing is not all glamorous. Hang in there girl - I can't even imagine what you are going through. I'm praying for your safe return home. DeeAnn Tokar Willoughby, OH Hi Katie

I would not last not being able to run for that long. Do you think that you'll ever want to row again after this? You should do a blog.tv show so you can talk to all of us.

I think they thought your adventure was full of fun and now they know that there are totally different things happening to you that aren't so good. Several of them were afraid that you were going to give up, but I told them that those things will make you want to finish what you started even more. We liked your comment about the albatross, the dorados, and the jelly fish encounter. We looked up pictures of all these creatures on the internet complete with pictures so the kids could see what you are seeing. They thought the albatross looked like an eagle! My class wants you to know that they are proud of you and they hope you stay safe. They want to know if you have seen any more shark fins? I want you to know that you inspire me to keep at all those things that I think are hard and to never give up. God speed.

The links on our website to your website, your RSS feed and the marine tracker have been quite popular and allow our readers to participate, vicariously, in your fantastic experience. Since you began your voyage, our "hit" rate has increased significantly because of your popularity. You are an excellent writer and I agree with others who say you need to write a book about your experiences. Katie, thank you for sharing both "the good and the bad" of your days. You make us a bit more thoughtful about everyday things we take for granted! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We continue to follow your progress and reports closely.

The sun is shining and it's cold outside. I just saw a squirrel in the very tip top of a tree that towers over our condo and wondered how he gripped the bark so he wouldn't fall. You have a real gift for writing, Katie, and I encourage you to pursue that when the time is right. You will certainly have enough life experiences to draw on so you will write from your heart. I check your site sometimes two/three times a day and always pray for you and your safe passage. God bless you. Your HandsOn friend Ceil Katie:
