I only found your site this morning after following a link from the Facebook page of Grassy Sound Marina in Wildwood, NJ, where they mentioned that you stopped by for a brief rest on your journey. I’m not a kayaker, but I have to say that it was an enjoyable last few hours that I spent reading through the blog of your adventure. (I wish I had been following it in real-time!) Still, I had to at least drop you a line to say that it was inspiring to read about your trip. As someone who very, VERY rarely strays out of his comfort zone, I admire the fact that you both had a dream and took action to achieve it. CONGRATULATIONS! If you can kayak from Maine to Florida the way you did, I figure you two can (and will) do just about anything that you set your mind to.
