A group of noddys can be called a "niddle"...a niddle of noddys? I've been watching your journey since I heard your interview on NPR before you left the US. You are so close now - woo-hoo! You're an inspiring young lady! Keep up the good work! Katie – your visiting bird friends appear to be Brown Noddys (how’s that for a name?!)

I think it is a great thing that you are doing! You are very brave to cross the Aylantic Ocean by yourself. I can not wait to hear more about your journey. God bless and keep up the good work.

Won't be long now! I wish I could be there to cheer you into port :D @ Sam- Are you going to be there to witness history in the making? You'd better have a fresh shot of lemongrass and some fresh squeezed, ice cold juice ready for Katie when she lands or you might just get hit with an oar ;-) (Especially since I just put that idea in Katie's head, lol) Hello Katie!

I know you must be exhausted with from your journey and from all my fellow classmates but I am also in Mrs. Frank's math class. I strongly support what you are doing. My mother had gone to Haiti before the earthquake with a group from our church to dig a well so that the people of Haiti could have safe, clean water to drink. My mother loves what you are doing and I think it's brave too. You've almost reached your goal! Land is in sight! My sincere wishes for safe passage, Ellen Dear Katie,

I'm Lauren and just like Gina and everyone else my math teacher is showing me this website. I cannot believe you are rowing 8 hours a day! Not to mention that you are all by yourself in the middle of the ocean! I wouldn't be able to survive by myself in the middle of no where! I think its incredible how you are out in the middle of the ocean by yourself rowing 8 hours a day just to raise awareness for people who are literally out there dying because they don't have any clean water to drink or cook with. You inspire me so much. When i grow up i hope that the whole world will have clean drinking water thanks to you. :) Hi!

I think it is really great what you are doing because you are making sure that people have "safe drinking water that they need". I am really impressed on what you have done. You are not only helping the foundation to raise money, but you are also helping the people. Someday I would like to help the world in some way, similar as what you are doing now. Good luck in the rest of your trip. Hello my name is Samantha, I am in 5th grade and I am 10 years old.
