HI Katie,

I just spoke with your dad this morning. I work for Xerox and manager gear in the warehouse he works in.

We have been friends for a long time. This morning he told me about what you are doing. It’s simply amazing! I wish you the absolute best in all you endeavor and I’m certain you will be successful in this latest challenge.

Rooting you on from Michigan…

Can wait to see you on TV once complete. I’m sure your success will attract allot of interest and yield many fruits for your labor.

I commend you and wish you well.

Safe Journey!

Your new friend,
Sandi

Been checking your page every few days. Glad to see you’ve been making it through ‘relatively’ unscathed. Hope the last of your journey goes very well!

Hi Katie; Wow! I better pay attention or you will be finished without me looking on and yelling with the rest of your admirers. On my map you are about three quarters of an inch away. But who’s counting(measuring). Steady as she goes.

Hi How is rowing? It must be cool to see a boat now. Are the birds still coming? I would get sick of eating energy bars too. Do you get scared at night? You are probably lonely out alone in the ocean. you are so brave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep on rowing!!!!

Katie,
Wow! It must feel great to be closer to land! Too bad you couldn’t contact the boat. I can’t believe you have the strength to row that far! Do you know what that boat was doing out there? I would probably get sick of energy bars too. I would get very lonely and scared out in the ocean all alone. You are very brave and I think you are amazing!

You’re almost there! Please be ever vigil with all those commercial ships you may encounter as you close in to the South American shoreline. Can’t wait to see the video of you reaching shore!
