The map below shows ice present in 2013 but not present in 2006 as green, and red shows the opposite. The patterns are very similar.

I wonder why no one bothered to tell the rowers about this before they left Vancouver?

Here’s one of the best things about immigration reform: It’s going to make our economy a lot stronger.

fixing our broken system will create jobs, boost wages, and foster innovation.

The ice pack moved from ten miles off shore yesterday, to about one mile offshore today at the eastern end of the Beaufort Sea. Based on the drift forecasts for the next week, it appears quite likely that their route will be completely blocked with thick ice in a few days.

If Zimmerman is acquitted, many difficult things will happen

1. It will no longer be safe to beat a stranger’s head against the sidewalk
2.  It will no longer be safe to blame partially white people for everything bad that happens on earth
3. One gun owner will not be locked up in jail
4. Parents may have to take responsibility for raising their children
5. Race baiting will get a little tougher for the White House
6. Due process will be more difficult to subvert

We are still battling against the wind! Today we tried to sneak up an inlet today that, according to our charts, would have allowed us to make progress in the lee of some high ground. Unfortunately the charts were not correct and after six hours of pushing and pulling we ended up 930 precious meters ahead of where we started!

The bottom line is that rowing into a 30kt wind with our boat is not only impossible but also very dangerous as the sea has become really nasty.

Still battling the wind!

Right … 12 MPH is the new 30 knots
