Madiera
Island






We're embarking on the super-huge leg of our journey through the Atlantic Ocean back to the east coast of the United States!! This is our last stretch before we go home!  Scary? Oh yes. Not only because we're traveling through the Atlantic during an approaching hurricaine season, but because we'll have long stretches without land, meaning I'm stuck in this tub with Jack, Devon and Chau (and our fleet of mini battlebots.)

The island you see on the left is Madiera island. It's off Portugal and it's a really awesome place to be. It's beautiful and the surfing is extremely awesome (says Jack). To the right is a shot I got off a sailboat we were on...nice Americans took us out for a ride.

On our way back to the U.S., I have a huge to-do list. I'm returning for my first job with the Discovery Channel on the Animal Planet show, Chasing Nature. For the particular stunt I'm doing, I'll need to know how to wake board. I've never tried this before, but guess what? I got a boat, an ocean, and nothing but time...and I have a wakeboard and Jack. Chau has offered to get video footage of the whole thing and if my Internet connection holds up, I'm thinking y'all will get to see some outrageous outakes in the next few weeks.

Mahalo! (as they say in Madiera...no, wait, that's Hawaii)
