teddius is on a distinguished road
Hey, Simon mentioned to me that he had a friend that was taking a USCG Captains License course in Oakland, CA for a unbelievably good price.
Would that happen to be any of you? (BF, KeelH, etc.)
I am looking at this summer (if my wife grounds me on account of her giving birth-nixing my Hawaii delivery scheduled for a month and a half later).
Thoughts? Suggestions? Experiences?

(soon to be Capt'n) Teddius

Ted, there was a guy on Craigslist a while back. His company comes here every spring and does it for a little over a grand. I will send you the info if I can find it. I spoke to him briefly. Its probably him.


USP-Nice!

BF,
Thanks for a job well done, I appreciate the time and work keeping track of Simon. Rep points when I can give them to you again.

I have been closely analyzing position reports with the graphical versions...

Anyone notice a weird almost pornographic substance to the route?

Or how about this previously never before released mapping of Simon's course?

Remind anyone of a journey to Mars?
