Let me be the first to make an appearance on the blog and to wish you all good luck and a wonderful trip. Roger is my neighbour and friend (I'm the "OTHER" Roger) and I will be following the voyage with great interest. Jack "Speedbird" is a beautiful boat, you must be mighty proud of her and I'm sure she will live up to your expectations. Bon Voyage
May we join our good friend rogermac and offer best wishes from Canada. I would love to be aboard this voyage but time and other demands of daily life prohibits such a venture. Kiwi

Andrew Highland here :) How interesting it will be to watch the ocean exploring trio!! Captain Cook will be put to shame!! May the wind be at their feet so to experience a smooth and safe journey home.
Hi Jack and Crew, I am fascinated with your Inverter problem as I sell and install Solar Systems. Do you have an Inverter which can use 240 or 120 in from the generator, if so what brand are you using. Roger Mac's friend Kiwi in Canada
The speedbird truly looks awesome. Enjoy every moment of your journey. Have a wonderful time. A famous quote for you to ponder on your journey;
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. --Mark Twain
Hello to all on Speedbird especially my beautiful boy,
Glad things are going well for you. She certainly looks like an impressive craft.I'm afraid that I don't share the same sentiments as you kiwi and wish to join the voyage, but I will be certainly there all the way in 'spirit'.Have an awesome time men and look out for each other.

Hi Roger, David Cree here just making contact. Have enjoyed reading your blog and following your epic cruise. Not quite doing it in the Kon Tiki style though!Envy you guys when I read of where you have been and the experiences. Continue to have a safe trip and look forward to reading more of your posts
Hi Jack and Boys, good to hear that the dancing on the seas is starting to level out and now that you have evidenced Jack's twinkle toes coffee making exploits there should be some calm seas ahead for the run home.
Jack if you come across some extra Pirates on the high sea's it's just a bunch of High flying Bankers and Credit Managers ducking for cover as they have stuffed everything on shore, so they are trying their luck out at sea. Happy for you to show them the edge of a plank if you come across one of these fine gentlemen.
Thank you for visiting our blog. We have created this site so that family and friends can keep up to date with our movements all the way from San Diego U.S.A back to Sydney. We plan to leave San Diego on the 8th September 2008.
