Katie!
I want a photo of your arms! Your muscles must be chiseled to the utmost at this point! That’s why those guys didn’t mess with you!
Waiting for landfall!

You… … … You and me…
You know sometimes we have to sweat… sweat and strain…
Our bodies are all aching… they’re racked, with a whole lot a pain…

I get weary… … and sooooo sick of trying…
I’m tired of living… … and afraaaaaid of dying…

But not our Katie…
She just keeps rooooow’n…
Row’n alooooong…

Nah, I haven’t been drinking. I was just listening to the song, “Old Man River” and it sorta got stuck in my head. I guess you had to hear it :-\

Katie- Just keep row’n along!

P.S. Sometimes my internal censor malfunctions and you get stuck with a bizarre post, like this one… Sorry

It is very distrubing that Humans could be a bigger threat if they act ‘un-human’ like. Nature typically can be trusted to do what nature does. Man is a whole different species.

Listen to your body, it will never lie!

Told Paige that Ed died – she was really sad. We are praying for you every night – God’s speed to the finish. You are and will be an living inspiration to young women everywhere – I will never look at a glass of water the same or take it for granted ever again!.

Bless you…..keep rowing and know you are truly CHANGING the WORLD…..

Having spent a decent enough chunk of this winter on an indoor rowing machine (erg) with my pals at the Cleveland Rowing Foundation boathouse and not having gone anywhere, I’m starting to think your cross Atlantic trek wasn’t so crazy. Congrats on your journey and good luck on a safe fortnight.

I remember hearing about your planned adventure last year. Today’s update in the News Herald prompted me to congratulate you on your amazing progress in this huge test of determination and endurance! I am praying for you to stay well and to arrive safely at your destination. Looking forward to the good news!

oh Sam – you could be in trouble! But thank you so much for helping Katie share her adventures with all of us! Her continuing sense of humor is just amazing to me! I have the feeling the guy was flirting with her rather than having a heart attack!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Katie, my heart was in my mouth when I read your latest blog. I would have been packing myself (Aussie term for scared!). Keep safe sweet girl you are an inspiration and I am constantly checking on you and your position. I am getting excited as you look so close to land. Looking forward to seeing the pics of you finally reaching land. By the way thank you for the pics I am loving them. Good night and God bless from Aussieland. xxxx
