Hi Kate,
First: is the bird ‘hobs’ still alive?

If he is please let us know and your team can contact us at Guyana Amazon Tropical Birds Society to get him off your hands and help him recuperate…

If not, still do contact us so we can see what specie it is, send us a photo – we will still love to have it to do a skin specimen for the Species collection skin specimen at the Smithosian Institue in UG here.

if you have a photo of this bird – please donnot hesitate to send it to us.

Katie,

I am part of a philanthropic group that has been following the final leg of your trip – from Las Vegas, Nevada. You deserve all the help you can get providing pure water to people in need worldwide. I can make and share water purification drops and a food grade child and pet safe pest control product that can also save the lives of millions of children from insect borne diseases.

A possible additional reward for your hard work and accomplishments.

Hobs because, he hobbles? Makes me wonder if you were a fan of Calvin and Hobbes…

I hope you can return to land safely and bring Hobs along with you. How fascinating that you now have a companion to help see you through your journey.

Godspeed!

I sure hope Hobs makes it to land with you Katie – I’m thinking not a pirate – just a good person!!!!!!!!! You’re SO close! I keep wondering about your leg muscles – will you have a tough time walking? I hope you’ll continue to post either here or on facebook after your row is done. You’ve become part of my and so many other’s daily lives!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Kate -

Do you see land? Or have your already? What’s that feel like to you – weird since you’ve seen blue for so long? Stay safe – see you soon; we’ll have a smoothie waiting. Can’t commit to the wheatgrass (yuck).
