We haven't even seen the copy yet. The print on demand published book is available through www.Outskirtspress.com and might not show up on Amazon or Barns and Noble for a few weeks yet. The book is about Running for Fun, through Jonathan's years of running. He wrote about a fourth of the book while he is currently in High School. He is now a Freshman going to Merritt Island. I believe this is the first high school running book written by a high school athlete and his dad, while the high school athlete is still in high school.<br /><br />Bob Brown<br /><br /> Ralph and I are just finishing up a few last things before we make our crossing to Greenland.notombstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00047456912738755855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7316594357158526808.post-84449551072756257482009-07-29T00:33:13.715-04:002009-07-29T00:33:13.715-04:00Yes, the water was cold while I was paddling aroun...Yes, the water was cold while I was paddling around and taking pictures around the ice-berg.<br /><br />We saw over 35 icebergs yesturday on the way to Cartwrite, Labrador. We named about eight of the icebergs so far on the trip. To qualify for a name, pictures of the iceberg are required. We broke the rule on some of the first icebergs, since we hadn't made up the rule yet.<br /><br />I missed seeing 3 or four sections of an iceberg fall, I had the camera ready and took a short break for the call of nature and suddenly it was over. Ralph missed the whole thing, because he was asleep. but he did wake up in time to see the ice chuncks all around the berg. We always have to be careful driving around bergs since hitting a chunk of ice could damage the boat or engine. You can not imagine the beauty of an up and personal iceberg. I think Ralph has just uploaded some video of our first encounter with an iceberg on You tube. I think you have to type in Cross the Atlantic, but he said that he is going to try to get some on the www.crosstheatlantic.com site soon.<br /><br />Bobnotombstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00047456912738755855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7316594357158526808.post-10174673871935352072009-07-29T00:19:30.276-04:002009-07-29T00:19:30.276-04:00I saw my first salmon today.

He has tags that are bright yellow that he has to attach to the salmon right away. <br /><br />Tom also helped to refuel our boat. He arranged for a delievery of gas out at the docks. Gas is normally only obtained through jerry cans, we needed to have a total of 310 gallons for our leg to Greenland tomorrow. The pumper truck had to pump out all it's desel fuel and then refuel with gas before arriving at the dock. There was a little trouble with the size of the outlet pipe on the hose and the size of the inlet on the tanks, but Tom figured out the solution, by removing the fill cap assembly. The larger diesel pipe now fit.<br /><br />Tom also drove me around to shop for food and a pair of rubber boots for Ralph. Tom then helped to tie the boat up so that it would not get banged around in low tide on the rocks, and still be easy to get in and out of. Thanks Tom! Not to mention all the help Pete and George did for us during our stay at their place of business.
