Hi, I'm Rebecca, Tara's partner. Unfortunately Tara is finding it hard to fit updating her blog into her rowing day so I have taken over so everyone can hear about what is going on out there.<br /><br />As you will all be aware Tara was delayed in leaving and it was a rough few days with wild wind and seasickness taking its toll. However I spoke to her this morning (birthday morning on the sea - beat there was no mud cake out there!) and things are looking up. She said everything around them is grey on grey on grey but the sea was flat with not a breath of wind so hopefully that made for good miles covered today.<br /><br />She has had many visitors of the wild variety already including sharks! Her favourite was in the early hours of the morning when two sealions came to pay a visit - she described them as synchronised sealions. They both rolled onto their backs together, lifted the same flipper, put it down and then raised the other one in perfect unison. Definitely gave her a giggle! Another 'awesome' experience was having a pod of about 30 dolphins rush towards them, Tara did try to rush to get the Go Pro out and wake Angela but by the time that had happened they were gone!<br /><br />She would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has sent messages via the tracker - it makes their day to receive the messages of support and the occasion joke. If you would like to send a message go to the home page an I will continue to update the blog when I have heard from her.<br /><br />Below are some pictures from their boat launch....<br /></div>

So little time to go and I seemed to have booked every
minute of it! Tara arrives on the 13<sup>th</sup>
bringing portions of her own rations. I
have discovered that I can’t really pack
food till she gets here…that will make the 13,14 and 15th kind of crazy. I am
doing my best to get Public Relations work done but with so little help at this
point I will just have to move on. The
isolation of ocean rowing starts long before you ever get in the boat. We
always seem to manage and make it without much but how great would it be if? Sigh
and shoulder shrug. I am hoping leaving from my hometown that we can have at
least as much support as Annie <span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span lang="EN">Desalernos</span><span class="fwb1"><span lang="EN"> </span></span></span>of Northwest Paralympic Sport Clubs & Foster

I do these rows half way across the world and this will be my 4<sup>th</sup>
Ocean crossing. Tara Says the question she gets asked most is about the support
boat and do we have anyone out there with us. Answer “No, we have each other”
My number 1 question I get asked is “Why didn’t we here about this”? Believe me
it’s not for our lack of effort! I’ll make one last effort and PR blast out and
it will go where it goes. I don’t have the budget or time to do any more than
that. </div>

Adaptive or Para
Rowing has changed my life! Through adaptive rowing I have gained incredible strength…
to be able- and even to row across oceans. Over the years I have worked to
provide many others the opportunity to better themselves through participation
in adaptive rowing. We created a California Adaptive Rowing Program Go Fund Me
page to raise money to purchase boats for the program which only has 2 boats
that are operational and still floating. Unfortunately we can’t continue to
operate without equipment. <i> </i>I used to think rowing across oceans was
the most difficult thing to do on the planet but really fundraising for a 501c3
when you are a little fish is way more difficult. The Big fish leave very
little for the little fish to survive and its big fish eat little fish, doggie
dog out here, survival of our rowing program is depending on my ability to fundraise. If we don’t make it, what little we have will
be given to another little fish or great cause.
The 20,000 goal is possible if everyone just put in 5 bucks… that is one
pack of cigs or 1 drink. Go to<span class="usercontent2"><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; mso-ansi-language: EN;">

<span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">and Long Beach sharing pictures
of the boat and speaking with people. We wondered how far a small boat with a
parachute or drag anchor deployed would drift before making landfall? When I
was on the boat it was only drifting 6-9 miles a day in South East direction
whilst on sea anchor however that was not in gf4 winds. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">It had been three weeks since my
rescue and we hadn’t had any news on Spirit of Orlando. We decided</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">to be more proactive and booked a
Channel Islands whale watching tour with Island Packers to go out looking for
my little boat on Sunday. Once there we gave out more Spirit of Orlando picture
cards and talked to more people. We had a fun day but had no success finding my
little boat. We took the coastal drive home and I kept a lookout using a pair
of binoculars just hoping for a sighting. We were nearly home when we received
a face book message from Denise Muller that stated the boat had been found in
San Diego. I was opening my computer to go online and look at the message when
I got a call from Catherine Miller who informed me that a long range fishing
boat named Old Glory had found my ocean rowing boat. She stated that they were
towing it in and that it would arrive at 6 am Monday morning. We quickly called
the Navy lodge and booked a room for Sunday night. We then hooked up the
trailer and were on our way to San Diego so that we could be there when the
boat arrived in the morning. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">We did not know what to expect as
that was a considerable distance, hundreds of miles farther than expected. We
got to San Diego at 1 Am and managed to get 3 hours of sleep before heading to
the H&M Landing at 5:20 AM. All kinds of thoughts were running wildly
through my head like what condition the boat would be in and will I have enough
money to pay the boat that recovered Spirit of Orlando? According to Salvage
laws they did not have to give me my boat and could ask whatever price they
want for the boat. What if I did not have enough? I have Search and Recovery
Insurance for myself and have Vessel Assist for recovery of the boat up to 100
miles but It has to be recovered by a specific Vessel Assist boat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would have to cover these costs myself. </span></span></span></div>

there was a ABC 10 news van there and a lot of people getting ready to go out
fishing. It was sunrise and daylight began penetrating the Marine layer. Our
eyes began </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">searching the H&M Landing for
the boat. First we followed the news crew power cord to the back of the
building by the gangway that lead to the dock with all of the commercial
fishing boats where the news reporter was busy shooting a piece so we went past
them down the gangway. The tide was out and the ramp steep so I positioned
myself at the top, lifted both front wheels up and proceeded to ride a wheelie
all the way down the ramp. My back pack was hitting the anti-slip surface
making a dragging noise that </span></span></span></div>

and the camera man. I turned to see where Deb was and was blinded by the light
on the camera. I wondered if I should have approached them but I was in a hurry
to get to the boat.</span></span></span></div>

the end of the boat dock and was unloading the fishermen who were aboard for
Spirit of Orlando’s recovery. Just down to the right on the dock before Old
Glory was The Spirit of Orlando. I had not seen all of the damage done in the container
ship incident as it happened at night and I was extracted from the boat in the
cover of darkness. Other than broken antenna, broken all round navigation light
and flag staff the boat looked good. There were some scrapes in the 3M wrap but
I don’t think it even goes down to the gel coat. It was a very emotional
reunion and I got teary eyed remembering how close a call that really was and
how much worse that could have been. The reporter and cameraman made it down to
the boat. I felt a little embarrassed being teary eyed and getting caught on
camera doing it. I suppressed my tears and then did a brief interview with
channel 10. I was distracted during the interview by my own anxiousness to get
aboard Spirit of Orlando and as soon we were finished I transferred onto the
boat and opened the cabin door. It was a little bit damp and the contents
shifted all topsie turvie like the boat had possibly pitch poled and definitely
had rolled over and self-righted at least once. Pitch polling is going bow over
stern. The airlines statement “contents shift during flight” came to mind.</span></span></span></div>

ready to talk to me so I transferred back over to my chair and went to meet the
Owner and the Skipper of Old Glory. They helped me aboard Old Glory and I sat
inside the galley waiting anxiously as it was time to discuss business. I was
so afraid I would not have enough money. Joe Philips, the owner operator of Old
Glory told me how he supports veterans and how they take our wounded warriors
out fishing and then he told me he was not going to charge me. I <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="2"></a>offered
money to cover expenses and fuel and he and the crew refused to take any money.
I was relieved and put off at the same time as I wanted to give them something
.All I can do for now is express my gratitude. They were all so generous and
kind. The skipper had looked up information about my boat and the tribute row
and it is my understanding that all consented unanimously to the recovery of
the Spirit of Orlando. </span></span></span></div>

The seas and winds remained calm through the night and the sky was clear enough
to see many stars. I rowed all through the night making about 26 miles and
rowed through the morning. The winds had begun to pick up so I put out my
parachute anchor at 1 pm to take a 2 hour nap. Sleep did not come in this rest
period, partly me just being so excited and partly because the boat wasn’t
setting well. I exited the cabin to the sounds of sea lions playing which was
all good till I saw what they were playing with. They had collapsed my para
anchor and were playing ball with the buoy I had attached to the rig. They saw
me come out of the cabin and stopped first looking at each other, then at me
and then at each other again like mischievous children. That would completely
explain the oddities of the behavior of my boat on sea anchor that first time.
I retrieved my para anchor and continued rowing increasing my distance from land
and making the most miles west I would see the entire row. </span></span></span></div>

producing increases in NW winds and in the size of the waves. It was as if the
opportunity of good weather to begin my row was like the eye of the storm. I
placed my sea anchor out when it became un row-able and thought about the day’s
events and all of the marine life I had seen in just one day of rowing. It
began with the sea lions and a killer whale charging toward my boat a short
time later followed by many dolphins. Then as I was rowing a Blue whale and her
calf surfaced right beside my boat. I had to pull in my oar to avoid contact.
They left me and headed in closer to shore possibly to avoid the killer whales.
Orcas like to go after the whale calves. I saw some interesting looking
jellyfish floating by and thought about Diane Nyad who swims oceans and has
encounters with jelly fish and I was visited by 3 black tip sharks. Only the
killer whales exhibited aggressive behavior. I had seen 2 killer whales on the
GB row that exhibited the same behavior. They charge toward the boat at rates
of speed capable of pulling a water skier with their huge dorsal fins broaching
the surface the entire time. They get just up to the boat like they will ram
you and then disappear. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The NOAA weather channel on the VHF radio described this new low
pressure system and small craft and high wind and sea advisories. I set my
sleep alarm for 2 hours so I could check for ship traffic knowing there was
little chance I would be rowing again anytime soon. I checked traffic every two
hours through the night and as promised the NW winds had reached 25 kts with
33-39 kt gusts. The seas were at about 15 ft with an additional 4-5 foot wind
swell so sets topped off about 20-25 ft. I remained on sea anchor all day and
another night. Checking the lines first light I noticed that the anchor bridal
lines had chafed and broken and the only line holding my sea anchor on was the
one retrieval line I had put on as an assistive device to help bring the bridal
thimble or anchor line attachment point back to the boat. The retrieval line
which runs all the way out to the parachute anchor had come undone. Guessing
those playful sea lions had broken the bite on my Bolin knot and it came undone
during the night. I had no way to collapse and retrieve my parachute anchor to
repair the anchor line fixation points. This was serious as I was about to lose
my 9 foot diameter parachute anchor which is an extremely important piece of
storm kit.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I also brought a 6 ft diameter anchor with a much shorter line as
a backup. I managed to get about 170 foot of line back in the boat and
parachute within 15 foot of my boat but could get it no closer. I then took the
small anchor and connected it to the rear of my boat deploying it with 50 ft of
line. As it opened it swung my boat around to a point where I could reach the
other anchor. I had successfully rescued my anchor but sacrificed the smaller
less important one as I did not have time to place a retrieval line on it when
I deployed it. Pulling a fully laden 1200 pound boat up to a 6 diameter
parachute anchor in 25-30 mph winds would be easier than the larger diameter
para anchor but I figured I would solve that problem later. The boat was riding
ok on the smaller one for the time being. It did get calm enough for me to row
again and I figured out how to collapse the chute by sending a carabineer down
the anchor line that was bigger than the swivel shackle. It went over the
connectors and worked its way down collapsing the chute. Then it came in easy.
I had managed to save both anchors. In the process I had injured my right knee.
It locked up and has swollen and will not straighten. It never got calm enough
for me to repair the bridal or for me to crawl out onto the bow and make a
connection with the bow tow eye located at the front of the boat. My thought
was If I had too, in an emergency, I could use the one located at the rear as I
could connect it from my cabin by accessing it through the hatch and that I
could make these repairs as well as doing my personal admin and laundry when I
got some better conditions at sea. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">For all of my rowing, in the conditions I could make no west but
could only go south. I expected to go a bit south and more SW and almost do a
course that resembled a Nike swoosh but it was not to be. I had to take the
foot stretchers out because of my knee and try to secure myself while rowing
with my other leg. I looked at the course and how I could only go SE in these
conditions, took into consideration my knee injury and my distance from land. I
was 80.7 miles from land. I decided to Row to Los Angeles and reschedule the
Hawaii row. I changed my course and was rowing SE. I did not know about the new
forecast at this time. The seas once again were getting bigger and the winds
were just howling. I looked at my last 2 hours rowing and had noticed I had
gone more west while rowing SE. maybe current running west? Could I possibly
make it to Hawaii if I now could somehow go west or had I gone too far south?
What is the weather forecast? I turned on the VHF and listened to the forecasts
of Gale Force winds for my location and heavy seas. This basically means
conditions twice as big and bad as what I had been battling for the previous 5
days for the next 5 days. There is no question now, only the realization that I
can neither row to Hawaii or LA in what is coming my way and staying on the
boat will jeopardize myself or anyone who may have to be involved in a last
minute rescue. I called the coast guard to apprise them of my situation and ask
for their recommendation and then we coordinated rescue from that point
forward.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A container ship MOT Mission was in my area and dispatched to pick
me up. When the ship arrived they determined that they could not dispatch their
little boat in the conditions and that they would attempt a direct pick up from
the side bay door 15 ft up on the container ship and that this would occur
while container ship was underway. He instructed me to get up on deck and I was
in process of exiting the cabin when the massive container ship did a drive by
along my port side while throwing life rings and lowering a basket while
yelling jump JUMP. I could not jump and my bum knee that kept me half in the
cabin and not on the deck in time to try to jump probably saved my life. The
sounds of the voices yelling jump were no longer audible as the sounds of my
antenna, navigation light and the side and top of my boat scraping along the
hull of this huge vessel as it is being sucked underneath its hull at the stern
was all I could here. I am looking up at the hull of the ship atop my little
boat and across to the propeller and I get back in my cabin closing the hatch
door to ride out what was coming next. Propeller wash. I was sucked up, run
over by a container ship and spit out the back. Foamy and turbulent the water
glowed a sea foam greenish color that seemed to give off its own amazing light.
After the turbulent ride, darkness had settled and with no daylight left the
giant spotlights on the ship were turned on and they were panning the sea
looking for me. They contacted me on the radio about making another pass. After
being at sea 7 days and battling bad weather for the last 5 while I was out on
the deck waiting, hanging on, getting slammed by 54 degree water waves in 55
degree outside temps I thought about what I had just gone through and went back
into my cabin. I hailed the ship on the radio and waved him off of any further
rescue attempts. Anyone in my position would not have been physically capable
of what was required. The ship’s Captain wanted to rescue me as much as I
wanted to row to Hawaii so he was not happy to leave me in my little boat but I
thought it best and I stuck to my guns. I thanked him for his time and effort
and told both he and the coast guard that I was going to warm up, go to sleep
and assess my situation further in the morning. I was going to sleep on it. At
about 2:45 AM the Coast Guard called me and told me they would have a
helicopter to my location in about an hour. They arrived and rescue swimmer was
deployed. I made sure to leave the Sea me and navigation light on the Spirit of
Orlando to aide in recovery of the boat. The swimmer got back in the water
first then I joined him the water. He swam us over to the basket, he placed me
in the basket and I was raised up into the Helicopter. It was a text book Sea
rescue. I phoned Deb and told her I would be at the Santa Barbara Airport where
she met me with some dry cloths and my wheelchair. We spent the rest of the day
on the drive back stopping at vessel assist in Ventura who told us it would be
impossible to go out and get the boat in the weather that was coming and know
way to know where to look after the blow. We stopped at military installations
and ports and harbors asking them to look out and contact us if they spot the
boat. We are on standby to recover the
boat, once recovered, I will reschedule the row. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I took delivery of the ocean rowing boat I will be rowing to Hawaii and
have been working to prepare the boat and myself for my solo row to Hawaii. Do
I have fears about weather I will be able to make such a journey? You Bet! I
have fears and doubts every time I set out to row an ocean. I was speaking at
an elementary school and one of the questions from a young girl was “Do you get
scared?” I immediately responded No and I have regretted saying that ever since
because it isn’t true. I certainly don’t want anyone to think I am afraid of
anything but I also don’t want people getting the impression that people who
accomplish what I accomplish have to be fearless. Fear & doubt is a big
part of what motivates me to try and is normal. It helps drive me to succeed and
makes me train and prepare to accomplish what most people consider impossible. I
fear failure but am not afraid to do extremely difficult things. I simply train
hard and prepare. I’ll make a 110% effort for a chance at either succeeding or
failing while being scared shitless the entire time. Most people consider what
I do crazy. People have a difficult time grasping the concept of the harshness
of life at sea for so much time for anyone let alone a paraplegic with rods in
her back. I will be 53 when I set off on this one and I feel every bit of those
53. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">This being my first solo will make it the most difficult physical and
mental challenge since my hospitalization and surgeries. This row is taking
place in the USA and not half way across the world so organizations in the USA
such as Shared Adventures, The Northwest Regional Paralympic Sport clubs of
Sacramento, Santa Cruz, Menlo Park and Monterey, the VA hospital and others are
organizing the departure while I train and prepare the boat. I am rowing a solo
but I have much more land support than I have ever had in my entire life, I am
not alone on this one…many are interested, many will be following online and
the departure will be amazing. The arrival in Hawaii may be the most
significant celebration in the history of ocean rowing. I want to thank
everyone for their support and for liking the dedicated Facebook page- Military
& Veteran Tribute Row</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Ever
feel compelled and driven to do something, to take some action or go experience
or see something without knowing exactly why? When I found out there was an
Occupy event at the Department of Veterans Affairs Building going on at 810
Vermont in NW Washington DC I had such a feeling. I didn’t know if it was a
real event or if anyone would be there for sure. I took a chance, used my
frequent flyer miles and headed to DC. My flight arrived at 1:15 Am so I spent
the first night engaged in a conversation with a young girl who is an athletic
trainer. We sat on a bench in the airport and I shared stories with her. It
felt much like the bus bench scene in Forest Gump. Was I there to meet and help
this person I wondered as she became teary eyed in the conversation describing herself
as lost, unable or not having the courage to do the things she wants to do in
her life? This was all of the advice I had to offer her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">It is a switch in effort and focus from
thinking about all we cannot or have not been able to do, overcoming doubt and moving
forward with a new purpose and method to achieve personal goals or success. To
be Able requires effort and action not complacency or stagnation. It requires
dumping the behaviors that hold us back and learning new ones that move us
positively forward. Its about being open to change and then making it happen
for yourself not waiting or counting on someone else to do it for you. It
seemed to be a message she needed to here and she left our meeting on a
mission. She caught her bus and I hailed a cab and went on to the Occupy event.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I had been traveling and up all night. I know
how difficult it can be sleeping on the street so I did not want to arrive in
middle of the night. When I did arrive I took a space on the sidewalk at the
end of a row. I rolled out my bag, placed all of my valuables inside my bag
with me, I put a tarp over my chair and my head and went to sleep for two
hours. I was woken up by a fellow named Mike who was looking for his blanket.
Seems someone had taken one from him during the night. He was my first
encounter with one of the occupiers. I asked him questions about the Occupy
Department of Veterans Affairs event… It started at the big Occupy DC event
last year during which a group of veterans got together and decided to go to
the Department of Veterans affairs with some questions and some ideas on how to
help veterans. The DVA said they would send someone out to speak with them and
no one came out. That was October 4, 2012 and they have been there ever since. Born
from the Larger Occupy Washington DC event it became Occupy the Department of
Veterans Affairs event. They have no plans of quitting or leaving anytime soon
and will be there as long as it takes. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">While
I was talking with Mike the tarp next to me started shuffling around and a head
pops out and Steve introduced himself to me. He also volunteered to show me
where the YMCA was in case I wanted a shower. They all told me I should look
for Frosty the garden gnome and told me to go to the Starbucks just down the
road and to the right so I rolled up my bag and grabbed all of my possessions
which wasn’t much and set off to Starbucks to find Frosty. Inside the Starbucks,
sitting by the window was a silver haired and long bearded older gentleman who
looked like a garden gnome. Obviously this was Frosty. He told me the same
story as Mike about how it all started and all of the things they have done to
them to try and get rid of them but the DC police have defended the Veterans
constitutional rights to peaceably gather and explained to the DVA that they
are on public sidewalk and not on DVA property. Then the DVA began pressure
washing the sidewalk on a daily basis but they have stopped as it did not work.
They moved me from the outside edge to inside the doorway saying it was warmer
but there is an order and protocol to homelessness and where you sleep in the
group. I was hesitant at first because I did nothing to earn this upgrade and
then I reminded myself I was a visitor and these were Veterans. It was very
noble and hospitable gesture with hints of overprotectiveness. I did move to
inside the doorway where anyone approaching could only come from one direction that
I could defend easily. I felt much safer there. Under the cover of scaffolding
it may have been warmer also but it was still damn cold! There is a place
called the peace house that was used for the large occupy event where people
could go use the internet but the ongoing services there are dwindling and it
will probably be closing soon so now the surrounding coffee shops are the place
to go to warm up, grab a cup of Jo and get online. The Veterans who are clean
and organized have a good reputation with most of the businesses and they are
supportive. None of us were denied entry or service because we were occupiers
or homeless. The people who are in and out of the surrounding businesses and
the locals know what is going on and the bad reviews about the Occupy Veterans
being a bunch of homeless bums I found to be completely false. These could be
complaints about the other homeless population that surround us or could be
generated by the DVA people who are uncomfortable with the Veterans presence
there. There is much to hide and I can’t imagine that everyone is happily
accepting and administering the orders and policies that hurt our wounded
warriors and veterans. These are things that both consciously and
subconsciously affect most human beings negatively. They have been given the
orders not to engage in conversations with the veterans and the threat of job
loss and devaluation is evident in the tension. There seem to be many
frightened people at the DVA who are conflicted and unhappy in their work and
many others who seem to be hostile in mitigating their guilt. I had to stay on
a workday just to witness this and see it for myself. My three days here have
been a positive experience and what these veterans are trying to do, I see as
being very important. Why continue to utilize a system and a method that is
clearly broken beyond repair, 900,000 backlogged Veterans claims for benefits
and growing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">There
is a system of automatic denial and keywords and events are sought, created and
expunged from medical records every day to generate a denial because denial
counts as adjudication of the claim and earns the reward of a congressional
mandated time stamp for adjudication of a Veterans claim which is now 125 days.
Very few claims are properly and fairly adjudicated in 125 days. Don’t believe
me, check the appeals rate. It is easier to deny and there are no physical or
financial consequences of that action to the DVA or individual employees. There
is a consequence to the Veteran and they do this without regard for human life.
These increased suicides I view as casualties of this system. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">What
happens after first denial is that then the Veteran has to file an appeal of
that decision this process can take time and usually leads to another denial.
Any veteran eligible for medical or monetary assistance due to service related
injury is ineligible for insurance and public assistance. They say it’s the government’s
responsibility. More denials, can’t pay rent, can’t work, can’t get food
stamps, can’t get appointments for care at VA, can’t get paperwork properly
filed out and disability documented for claims because VA is a teaching
hospital and all notes are entered by students who don’t use correct language
or terminology. If the veteran has any resources left by this point or any hope
then they will continue to fight. The DVA relies heavily on family and friends
of the veteran to provide support financially and emotionally to the veteran
and taxes those relationships to the full extent possible usually fracturing
any sustainable connection the veteran has to those sources of support. The VA
abuses counseling notes and personal information contained in medical records
against the veterans in the adjudication process and in the system to discredit
veterans so they are not to be trusted. Veterans often end up isolated and
alone with no one to turn to for support and no hope. Years later after
multiple hearings and denials a successful veteran will finally get through the
process in 10-20 or like Frosty 37 years at no consequence to the Department of
Veterans Affairs. How many have died trying? Too many! How many have given up?
Too many! These losses are unacceptable! Fix the system for God’s sake; don’t
just hire more adjudicators to do the job the same way, change the way the job
is done. Properly and fairly adjudicate the claim in 125 days so lives don’t
have to be needlessly destroyed while a soldier fights a battle that he is not
trained for, never saw coming and should not have to fight “The struggle for
benefits and the battle with the Department of Veterans Affairs”. </span></div>

I rowed in the Beijing 2008 Paralympics, rowed across the Atlantic in 2007,
Indian Ocean in 2009 and in 2010. I have a great history and have made history
in London. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-10724714" title="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-10724714">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-10724714</a></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I
circumnavigated Great Britain with three other British women. An awesome
challenge rowing 2010 miles around GB without touching land that took 51 days.
We rowed from London Tower Bridge, down the Thames & back to London tower
Bridge. I am returning to London to compete at the Paralympics in Track &
field as a thrower. I went from rowing to throwing last year. I still row
across oceans and plan to row from California to Hawaii solo in 2013 as tribute
to GB Royal Marine, adventurer and friend Orlando Rogers who was tragically
killed in an accident last May.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I
am better known as a rower in the Olympic/Paralympic world. It has been a
whirlwind Track & Field Odyssey constantly moving the throws farther and
farther almost giving up after Para Pan American games when the National A team
standard was raised to 8.76. Higher than the World record of 8.61 at that time
so I thought it nearly impossible to achieve as I was only throwing high in the
sixes then. Coach Cathy Sellers and Coach Erica Wheeler convinced me to stick
with it. I am not the type to give up, I did however go through what I needed
to go through at the time. I tend to go all in when I want something and if I
don’t get there I admit I am emotional and disappointed. I am after all “A
Delicate little flower” I still did what I needed to do to reach and even
exceed my goals and expectations. What I did after Para Pans was find and hire
my own private Track & Field throws coach Aaron Volkoff. Then I hired a
personal trainer all on my own dime since I lost all my National Team financial
support when I failed to make the new standard. I attended throws camps at the Olympic
Training Center in Chula Vista. I dug in and did what I needed to do. I went to
San Clemente to Ed Axton and had him build me a new throwing chair to the
customized specifications that I believed would help me throw farther. I
purchased implements, 6 javelins and 6 shot puts so my coach would not have to
make as many trips into the field to retrieve them. I suffered a grade two
shoulder separation throwing Javelin before I went to the last throws camp and
before my Hawaii vacation. So the VA issued a motorized wheelchair to use till
it healed. I had to borrow a scooter to use in Hawaii where I had to do one of
the most difficult things I could do in my training, NOTHING! I sat across from
my favorite surf beach in Hawaii and watched the waves, the surfers and the
sunsets.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">When
I got back from Hawaii they did an MRI and found torn rotator cuff tears,
fraying and bursitis in my throwing shoulder as well as the separation. I had
to change a few things about how I train. Javelin seems to irritate it and shot
put is unaffected so my coach and I have been focusing more on shot put and I
have been constantly applying Ice and resting more before competitions. I have
had to quit carrying boats and volunteering at the California Adaptive Rowing
Program that I founded in 1998 deeming it too risky and sadly I have not surfed
in months. It has been worth it as the German thrower and I have been playing
ping pong with the world record. Her last meet she brought it up to 8.92</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: small;">The world record for Women’s class 56 is back to German thrower
temporarily. A change in my prescribed pain meds caused a doping violation with
the World Anti-Doping agency so my last 2 meets have been sanctioned. I have

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: black; color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: small;">So my friends please don’t be getting
panties twisted or cry fowl. Ultimately it is the athlete responsibility to
make sure all of the required paperwork is done promptly and properly. If I or
any athlete has difficulty reading and understanding something because of poor
vision or like me with my Myasthenia Gravis and does not completely understand
it they/ I should ask for help. It’s not like I am surrounded by illiterate
people. Most of the reason why I am successful at what I do is because I take
responsibility for my actions or inactions. The process of filing for a
Therapeutic Use Exemption form which allows athletes to take prescribed
medications was rushed through for me before Para Pan American Games so what I
did not understand was that it would not cover any changes made until after I
received the violation. The Punishment fit the violation and it is done.</span></div>

am all squared away and ready to compete again. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: small;">Not all doping violations are
trying to cheat or enhance performance and some are just honest mistakes with
real life issues for athletes with disabilities. Most people do not know that
Paralympics is the top level and world stage for athletes with disabilities
just like the Olympics. We all train and work hard and we all blog and talk
about our achievements and not some of the other aspects of sport at that
level. So FYI we go through the same testing and reporting procedures as
athletes fill out all of the same paper work and have all of the same
responsibilities and duties as Olympic athletes. When we get to London we
compete in the same venues, stay in the same athlete housing and compete
against all the same nations top athletes. It is the world stage and it is a
great honor to represent the USA at both the Paralympic and Olympic level. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: black; color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: small;">Olympic day is coming up on June 23 so I just received my video and speakers
information pack for some events I am attending and I am realizing that I have
made another mistake. At Parapans I did not shake a few people’s hands
including an official because I had something on my hand. After watching the
Kick boxing I now realized that I could have easily bowed. It never occurred to
me at the time that I could have issued a respectful bow instead. I always
teach in rowing “it is not about not making mistakes; it is about recovering
from them gracefully”, Next time I will bow. 52 and still learning!</span></div>

My Name is Angela Madsen and I am an accomplished ocean
rower with 6 Guinness World Records for rowing oceans. I am going to row a
solo ocean rowing boat with no support boat from California to
Hawaii.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What this means is that I will
stay on my little boat the entire time, no one will give me any food or water,
I will have to have enough provisions on board to sustain my life for as long
as the journey takes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will row as many
hours a day as I possibly can and will try not to drift too far off course while
I sleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It begins with the idea
followed by logistical planning, purchase, the shipping and outfitting of a
solo rowing boat; I will start this rowing expedition Memorial Day weekend, May
31, 2013 from Rainbow Harbor in Long Beach, California or other suitable
coastal location and will be rowing approximately 2,500 miles to Honolulu,
Hawaii. It is a tribute row to Veterans of all services and to Spirited
Adventurer and friend Orlando Rogers who was tragically killed in a plane crash
on May 15th 2011. He was 26 years of age and was a Royal Marine. Orlando was
very supportive of me and all of my projects and he was very excited about my
intentions to do a solo row so as I make my plans I think it would be fitting
to make my row a tribute to honor his memory. He wanted and planned on being
there for me as he was on the Circumnavigation of Great Britain. Though it will
not be the same, he will be there with me for every rowing stroke and every
nautical mile. Orlando was a very special and amazing person. The name of my
boat shall be <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Spirit of Orlando</i></b>. Through creation of a pledge page and
donate button I will be raising money for a veterans charity that is yet to be
determined.</div>

across oceans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems rather normal to
me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am open to connections made
through social media and networking to find partners or sponsors for this event
so please share my story, my contact info, have a fundraiser for my project
2013 Para Solo Row. I am open to any ideas and will appreciate any help I can
get at this point. It’s like I am in a catch 22. I don’t feel comfortable
fundraising without the boat and cannot get the boat without fundraising. Even
when I was homeless I would never put a hand or hat out. It is very uncomfortable
but this is different. This is a fantastic advertising and marketing
opportunity. Unfortunately for me anybody selling a solo ocean rowing boat will
not allow it to be shipped without payment in full. Because it has to be loaded
on a container ship it will take some time to get here. I I need to get the
boat on its way here much sooner than that in fact the sooner the better. My
only other option is to use the money I have saved and try and restore my
Rowoflife boat which is a pairs boat. That will add way more weight and size
than I need making it physically more difficult than it already is and my old
wooden pairs boat may not be safe enough for another crossing. Ocean rowing is
expensive. The more monetary support, the easier it is to get to the start and
the better prepared the boat and I can be for the crossing. I often refer to
Spanky and Our Gang when referring to the way I have had to row across oceans.
I have already sold my quiver of surfboards and cut back as much as possible
without compromising my financial ability to compete in the Paralympics in
London 2012. As a paraplegic I have always had a higher degree of difficulty
and incurred more cost in achieving the success that I have had rowing across
oceans. It is an amazing achievement and privilege to be part of a small
community of ocean rowers. I am the only woman with a disability in the world
who rows across oceans. I need some help to make this history making record
setting solo row happen. If the ocean kicks my butt, that’s one thing but if I
fail to even get to the start because I am too stubborn to ask for help, well
that’s just not acceptable. Unless choosing anonymity, contributors will be
named on the boat and recognized on the Website. The financial requirement to
get the boat is $35,000.00 plus shipping. I have 10,000.00+ shipping so I am
25,000.00 short.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial;">Many
would say that I would never turn down a rowing project but I have
indeed done just that. I did consider it for a short time and came to
the realization that now is not a good time for me to row across the
Atlantic again. A race occurs every 2 years that begins on January 29,
2012 known as THE GUYANA BOUVET 2012. It is a race from Dakar, Senegal,
2600 Nautical miles or 4700 kilometers to Saint Laurent de Maroni</span><b><span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">, </span></span></b><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial;">Guyana
allowing only solo rowers in identical boats that are 8 meters in
length. It takes an estimated 40 to 60 days. Ocean rowing is an open
ended sport. Sta
rts could be delayed by weather and you really never know how long it
will take to get across. In a single handed or solo boat it could take
as much as 60-90 days. <a href="http://www.ramesguyane.com/index.php" target="_blank">Bouvet Guyane 2012</a></span></span></div>

am chomping at the bit to do a solo row & I like interesting
projects. I have never really had the opportunity to row a French ocean
rowing boat. One of the entrants broke his arm and an opportunity to
take his place presented itself. That is usually how it starts. Between
now and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1324228976_1" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;">January 29</span>
is not enough time to raise funds and find sponsors. I go to Florida
for in January to see my father and am scheduled to go to Hawaii in
April/May. It would take away from and jeopardize my financial
capabilities to do my Trans Pacific solo row. This will be my first year without a major rowing project since 2006.</span></span></div>

So 10 coaches now know more about adaptive rowing than they did before. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With so few programs nation wide and so few adaptive rowing coaches who have experience working currently with diverse population of disabilities that we see now, I want to encourage all of you who are working in current programs to share your knowledge and experience by organizing future coaches education clinics. Do stand alone adaptive or combine it with USRowing the way we did ours. Certificates of training in adaptive will be given to those who participated in our clinic that will look good on any coaches resume!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I always welcome coaches to visit our program and do one on one coaches education clinics on a regular basis year round here in Southern California.

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">It is now October and it has been nearly 6 months since completion of the latest rowing project. Things are just starting to get back to normal physically. Weight gain and starvation mode cancelled and am now balancing out. Seems like the more I put my body through it the longer it takes. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">I have been following Roz Savage rowing across the Indian Ocean and as she is near to complete her row she talks of retirement. I don’t know how many times I have talked about that same thing and I believe she will take some time off; I can’t seem to see her retiring any more than I can see myself retiring. I wish her all the best and will encourage Debs new web based re habilitation support program for those who chronically follow ocean rowers or dot watchers as they are known , you know who you are LOL. Roz retiring will leave a flood of people who have become addicted to watching Satellite tracking beacons who will be left to wonder about like zombies because this is the time they are used to routinely checking the tracking websites. I will definitely stay tuned to Roz and whatever she decides to do in the future. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">My life has been a whirlwind of activities and events since getting off the boat. The Paralympics 2012 is coming up. I have not officially retired in the sport and have kept the door open and remained in the USADA drug testing program to retain eligibility just in case things changed. I though it would be great to go again if the opportunity presented, on different terms as a rower. My Paralympic experience was amazing but not personally complete. I have been continuing to train and pull amazing erg scores but I don’t have the passion to compete in the sport the way I used to. I focus more on coaching and starting programs and on developing adaptive equipment for the sport. There are a shortage of both experienced coaches and programs nationwide to provide the opportunities in the sport. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">From Rowing to Throwing! I took up Track & Field because one of the coaches at the Veterans Wheelchair Games showed an interest in my throwing so I decided to give it a shot. Who knew I would be good enough to make the Paralympic team? I will have another opportunity to have the Paralympic experience I would have liked to have had in 2008. It is working out to be just that way with the Amazing support from the governing body of the sport, experienced coaches in Track and Field and the positivity of the other athletes. When I was growing up in Ohio, my participation in sports was my saving grace. The positive relationship I had with my coach, Joan Dautel, was by far the most important part of my survival and development as a person. The support, encouragement and leadership she had shown her athletes were exemplary. I cherished every moment of extra time she invested in me and as a competing athlete, have always longed for that kind of coach athlete relationship. That positive relationship is a key ingredient in every athlete’s success and development. If I never make it to London 2012, this 5 months working in Track and Field has qualified to restore and make complete, the athlete experience that I was trying to achieve. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht9dwcmOMWmB1w3Qae43o_4KS5tLxEf_eaAptJ41b3IdMX-8g8VXWqCDshbD3S8_6oe3ETSr-cQIDpKzRoIER5XsiFzWe8eY5nBsjUGCp4Zz9UMNmnVcMbRKF07BDTTIUyQFWCKf0HVHzE/s1600/20110807_654.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht9dwcmOMWmB1w3Qae43o_4KS5tLxEf_eaAptJ41b3IdMX-8g8VXWqCDshbD3S8_6oe3ETSr-cQIDpKzRoIER5XsiFzWe8eY5nBsjUGCp4Zz9UMNmnVcMbRKF07BDTTIUyQFWCKf0HVHzE/s320/20110807_654.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: right; width: 480px;"><embed flashvars="rssFeed=http%3A%2F%2Ffeed168.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu196%2Fdebmole%2F2011%2520Vet%2520WC%2520Games%2Ffeed.rss" height="360" src="http://static.pbsrc.com/flash/rss_slideshow.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" wmode="transparent"></embed><a href="http://photobucket.com/redirect/album?showShareLB=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/share/icons/embed/btn_geturs.gif" style="border: none;" /></a><a href="http://s168.photobucket.com/albums/u196/debmole/2011%20Vet%20WC%20Games/" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/share/icons/embed/btn_viewall.gif" style="border: none;" /></a></div></div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">It has been a whirlwind Track & Field Odyssey since completing my 2<sup>nd</sup> rowing crossing of the Atlantic Ocean (no motor, sail, or support boat). </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br />

</span></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">I took a bit of physical time off for recovery after the row just doing speaking engagements and coaching rowing at our Adaptive Rowing Program. I decided to try my hand at throwing things and yelling as I received some positive feedback at a previous Veterans Wheelchair Games for my performances in Shot put, Javelin and Discus. After rowing in the Paralympics and meeting some of the coaching staff and athletes/throwers in Track and Field I decided to go to a track and field meet and see what I could do. I went to Irvine and met Cathy Sellers and got signed up for the Desert Challenge. I got to Arizona, was classified as a 55 and broke America’s records in all three of my events. I then went to Florida to the Dixie games and threw farther. Shot put seems to be my better event. I then went to Nationals in Mira Mar, Florida where I would be internationally classified as 56. I made a rookie mistake throwing the 4k shot instead of the 3k so I was just short of the qualifying standard in shot ( 2.2 pound heavier implement) but made the qualifying standard for Jav. I then was invited to go to the Twilight & Boiling Point meet in Canada where I threw National A team standard shot at Twilight and took 1<sup>st</sup> place in shot put for the meet. I was handed an envelope saying 1<sup>st</sup> place that contained 8 Canadian one hundred dollar bills. My first prize money! So I purchased some implements and a throwing chair so I can practice. I am thinking it is something I can be good at if I train, practice and get some local coaching. I went to the last 2 weeks of the field program at Cerritos College and received some coaching before going to the Veterans Wheelchair Games in Pittsburgh. Unfortunately that program has ended so I am back in limbo.</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: center;"><br />

I also designed a seat for the indoor rowing machine and since I was going to Colours anyway I decided to pitch to them my ideas for manufacture of adaptive rowing equipment. Colours and I are now partners and they have built my first prototype seat and the folks at Three Rivers Rowing in Pittsburgh were the first to see it. It’s quite impressive and really exciting! No pictures we have moved beyond the prototype. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs-j2yW5NOC3LkTPRg7dwWsS9Lj_2dxgRie55Pbfk_ufL81jKFvHGbPrFb5Q2lvgGeDCnAncr9cq52iqys_NncbHdZsMoLi1UELUCm7AvB7NenCx6TlKHXCcxf4kh_iN9ACj7oLfRhQ1hF/s1600/20110807_813.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs-j2yW5NOC3LkTPRg7dwWsS9Lj_2dxgRie55Pbfk_ufL81jKFvHGbPrFb5Q2lvgGeDCnAncr9cq52iqys_NncbHdZsMoLi1UELUCm7AvB7NenCx6TlKHXCcxf4kh_iN9ACj7oLfRhQ1hF/s320/20110807_813.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">I always say Situation and circumstance should never be allowed to dictate who we are and what we will be able to achieve in our lifetime. Allowing situation and circumstance to oppress us is a choice. I dream big and set goals for myself realizing possibilities and potential for success, being hopeful and willing to do what is necessary to achieve those goals. When I first learned of the sport of Ocean Rowing I was drawn to it. I knew I was going to row an ocean. I did not allow the situation of being a woman and a paraplegic stop me. I just had to work harder and work differently to achieve my goals.<br />
<br />
This was the First Ocean Rowing Catamaran with crew of 16 to row 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in an attempt to break the Atlantic world rowing record. It was my second time to row across the Atlantic non stop and unsupported. I rowed with Franck Festor, a single amputee from France in 2007. Highlights of all of my adventures can be found on my website <a href="http://www.rowoflife.com/">http://www.rowoflife.com</a> </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">My becoming involved with the Big Blue project and crew was the result of taking a visually impaired rower from Canada, Franck Polari, ocean rowing in one of my introduction to ocean rowing classes at the Long Beach<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rowing Association. It is not advertised any place, people generally contact me via e-mail interested in trying the sport. I took him out on a coastal row from Long Beach to Dana Point. His Sea Sickness changed his mind about ocean rowing. The project that he was part of had lost their skipper so he told them about me. I began receiving e-mails from Steve asking me to skipper their boat. I looked at what horrible financial shape I am in from ocean rowing without sponsors, gave much thought to my solo ocean rowing project and decided what the Hell! First thing was to jump right in and organize sea trials for the project. To make sure it happened as this crew had been let down and abandoned before. They were not prepared, much of the critical information they needed to ensure success of their project was missing. I signed on late in the game with some big challenges ahead. We started a Google group and a mass of e-mail correspondence began. I organized a sea trial and some sea survival training for the crew on Shelter Island New York. I traveled there and met the crew and David for the first time. After sea trials I returned to Long Beach. David worked frantically to prepare the boat and make arrangements to ship the boat. I continued preparing the crew and myself for the crossing.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Deb and I left for Morocco the day before Christmas. We changed planes to a Royal Air Moroc flight at JFK bound for Agadir. We were boarded on the plane and everything was going well. Then it began snowing and they took us off the airplane. They refused to bring me my wheelchair. I sat on the plane till the last possible minute even breaking down in tears begging them to bring me my own wheelchair but they would not. They forced me into one of the airport chairs and the worker commented after much protest as I began to comply and surrender “now that’s a good girl” It was miserable. Airport wheelchairs are not made to be self ambulatory and don’t work well even when pushed. They kept moving us from terminal to terminal and jerking us around. Everyone was upset and it nearly broke out into a riot many times through out the ordeal. Eventually they got us on the plane and on our way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We arrived at our final destination however my wheelchair did not. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
<a href="" name="7724839308092930250"></a>In Morocco while preparing the boat and food I opened my box to find rats had ravaged it and I had lost 20 days of my food supply. I lost forty meals at about $5.00 a pop. Liz lost about six meals. I was so angry I had to go outside the gate of the boat yard and let out a big yell. What a waste. Deb and I paid a great deal of money to have a space big enough to sort the food at the house but the authorities would not allow us to move food from the boat to the house so our grand plan was offended and extra costs incurred to us by customs and port authorities. Expedition food is not replaceable in Morocco.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">They clearly did not see past our pocketbooks and into the future where ocean rowers can contribute greatly to their economy. It would be better for them in the long run to welcome us and ensure our safety and success of our rowing projects. There are other places in the world to row from. I know I do not want to go back there. Cabbies did not want to give me rides and wanted to charge me more money. I had to use cabs because I could not possibly push the airport loaner chair where I needed to go. One of the days I had to take a cab by myself so one of our French speaking crew negotiated my cost with the driver and I got in the cab. My crew loaded the wheelchair on the cab and Deb was to unload it on the other end. It was not to cost me more money. He drove just out of eyesight and earshot of my crew, he pulled the cab over and I was terrified. I thought I was going to have to fight off a rapist but instead he just made me give him all the money I had in my hand and then he drove me to the house. Had I refused he probably would have pushed me out of the cab and drove off with the wheelchair. It sucks being victimized. The ride that was supposed to be 10 rnb (8 rnb with 2 rnb for tip) cost me 60. I had been robbed! I quit going in cabs after that. I just walked with my crew. The negative symptoms of life without my own personal wheelchair had become evident with more back, shoulder and wrist pain. The crew tried to help me out as much as possible and did not mind pushing me around nearly as much as I did. We would leave the boathouse at dark so avoiding all of the obstacles became more difficult. Abrupt stopping when hitting an obstacle nearly injured the person pushing me and nearly ejected me from the wheelchair numerous times. The wheelchair footplates kept falling off and the wheel had fallen off once. It was quite risky and dangerous to contend with before the crossing. I am always reminded that most of the time it is far more difficult just getting to the starting line than it is to row across.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">To balance out the bad with the good I had contacted one of my friends from the Moroccan National Adaptive Rowing team Kalifa Monume. He drove down from Sale Morocco with his uncle and one of his friends. We had quite a memorable pre row party. They were there to help us put the boat in the water. It was great to see him again. Once the boat was in the water we rowed it around to the marina in Agadir where we would load it with our food and personal kit and then wait for the right weather to leave.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">We got underway the next morning at first light. It wasn’t long before one of the members of our crew became violently ill. Food poisoning was suspect. I too had contracted some kind of viral infection that combined with stress and physical exertion triggered my myasthenia Gravis. Myasthenia gravis is an auto immune disease that is ocular or affects the muscles in the eyes. I have bouts of temporary blindness or double vision. The eyes will cross or eye lids droop or not open at all. The crew may have been concerned about it at first but then saw that I could manage rowing and getting around on the boat without my vision.<span style="color: #400080; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span>We had to change our route and head down the coast to Tarfya, Morocco. We then called the Ocean Rowing Society and changed our port of record departure to Tarfya. We had some medical tests done and spoke with a medic there about Tom. He seemed to have recovered enough to continue. My physical condition had improved also and I was managing my Myasthenia with medication. When the tide came up at 7:25 PM we resumed our row.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The NE wind and weather kept us from going west and we found ourselves going SW down the coast a bit before the winds changed and we could finally go west. The winds did not favor us on this trip and I almost always find myself rowing against the wind. We had some 30-35 knot winds and made over 106 miles in one day. If that would have continued we would have had a chance at the record but that was only one day. The rest of the days we averaged about 65-70. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">We had a solar water boiler (pictured above) made by the students of an engineering class at Cal State Los Angeles. The instructor Sam Landsberger was a contact I had made at the Abilities Expo in LA. I had tested it at the dock and found it to be working but it had stopped working when we were at sea. We just assumed that it was the wind that prevented it from heating up. Wind was not blowing at the dock. We set it aside and forgot about it till our fuel shortage made it necessary to try and repair the boiler. The intake pump was broken and not sealing so it did not have the suction to move the water and there was a blockage not letting the full amount of water to release from the boiler. I was able to clear the blockage and David fixed the pump for me. After that it worked great. The solar water boiler allowed us to heat water without using the precious little stove fuel we had left. I also built a solar oven out of a dry bag, and an emergency blanket. The solar boiler only makes enough water to rehydrate two meals at a time. This solar oven allowed us to keep the meals warm whilst waiting for the other meals to rehydrate. I also experimented with food in the last week as we had run out of regular rations. I made some pizzas from assorted left over bits in the solar oven that were pretty tasty. With the exception of 50 cliff bars there was not one scrap of food left when we got to port. Everyone had snack packs through the last day. We began rationing regular meals at 7 days out, cutting one meal and having breakfast and whatever meal pack happened to be pulled for the day, a lunch or a dinner. The Sat phone battery charging port broke on the satellite phone so I also had to fabricate an external Sat Phone battery charger. Debs called Iridium and found out what contacts were positive and what ones were negative. Then I cut the plug off and David and I put some wire connecters on the ends of the wire. I then used a piece of plastic and a rubber band to keep the connecters against the contact points. Is all about finding solutions!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the ocean there are amazing sunrises and sun sets, there are panoramic ocean views, sky can be brilliantly specked with stars or can be so dark and cloud covered you cannot see your hand in front of your face. Extreme gratitude is what you feel when you get any amount of light to see at night. There is only a certain amount of serenity at night as it is mostly tempered with anxiety as the walls of water that are crashing down on you are highly anticipated yet invisible in the darkness. There is no way of knowing when, where or how, just that it will repeatedly beat you and knock you off your seat till you change watch. It can feel like the longest 2 hours of your life. See it coming or not, it will still knock you off your seat. Being that low to the water everyone gets soaked and everyone gets pelted with flying fish. There are fish around the boat constantly. Dolphins, whales, Dorado, tuna, sea turtles, sharks, jelly fish, even saw a few Portuguese man of war on this one. We witnessed nature, the food chain or big fish eat little fish many times when the Dorado would hunt the flying fish and the shark would then hunt the Dorado. We nearly participated by trying to catch a wounded Dorado that was swimming at the back of our boat for protection from the shark that had injured it. We thought it much too risky since the shark was following closely waiting for the kill and the inevitable demise of that beautiful fish.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">When the sky has shades of magenta in it at sunset the reflection of the water will be like a liquid silver and when it is yellowish the water looks like molten gold. You are like the wind and the water, always moving. The water changes color and salinity or level of salt content changes and with it changes the smell of the sea. There is no smell of land, no pollution, only humidity. Even the water you drink is desalinated ocean water with no chemicals or chlorine in it. I look out over the ocean and at the GPS and think how privileged I am to be able to be at this place and at this time where no human being has been or may ever be again and I am thankful for my life! Then back to reality, a piece of plastic trash floats by and I am, once again, disgusted by the human race.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We rowed into port in Port St. Charles Barbados 47 days later to our awaiting friends and families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Barbados is amazing and the people there are extremely hospitable and courteous. The specialty at most restaurants is flying fish. I was surprised to find out how tasty they are. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Deb went to the Veterans hospital and got a better loaner chair for me to use in Barbados. Much better than an airport chair and I was grateful to have it but again, not my personal wheelchair. When I got home to Long Beach I discovered that it would not go through my bathroom doorway so I called Ernie at Colours Wheelchair and they set up a chair for me that will do the job till I get my new custom wheelchair.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">All this time has past since the Sea <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300679325_0">Gals</span> and I have recently completed my second crossing of the Atlantic as the skipper of a crew of 16. My usual standard operating procedure is to show the people in the best light, keeping all of the negative things under wrap. What happens on the boat stays on the boat! I complete these projects and usually receive the appropriate amount of respect in return for my silence when people have misbehaved. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300679325_1" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;">The Sea</span> Gals award ceremony or prize giving is taking place this week <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300679325_2" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;">on Wednesday</span> at 1 PM at the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300679325_3">Kensington Roof Gardens</span> and for some reason I did not receive an invitation? I just found out about it today so making the travel arrangements with 4 days notice although not impossible, will be quite costly. I have to consider weather it would be worth it to go through all of the costs and hardships to attend an event that the Sea Gals skipper, Belinda has gone through measures to see that I do not attend, such as not sending me an invitation or even notification of the event. Vague information about the event is on the race website which is how I learned of it.<span> </span>Not even Chris Usborne, who is the race organizer, has responded to my requests for details needed for me to attend this event. This Disrespect may be the last and final straw</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">To quote Debs “I wish you would have quit Sea Gals because they never would have made it without you” This is a well known fact amongst the crew and in all of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300679325_4">ocean rowing</span>. I stuck with it in spite of the horrible treatment of the Crew by Belinda and the selfish behavior of a desperate crewmember to achieve the accomplishment by taking whatever side would achieve her desired result and faking loyalty and compassion as necessary to keep me from quitting. Bravo and well played! I still do not feel the need to publish all of the details. I may save that for the book. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">It was one of the worst experiences of my life. I have never had to subject myself to so much emotional and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300679325_5">verbal abuse</span> just to achieve a goal. As a human rights advocate subjecting myself to these emotional abuses was a difficult pill to swallow and I tried to defend myself on numerous occasions regrettably making me nearly as bad as the offender.<span> </span>The bottom line is… I did not quit, the abuse did not kill me and I do deserve better. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">This latest project with Big Blue has restored my belief that people are good and decent and can respect each other in spite of any differences. There was no <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300679325_6">abusive behavior</span>, all people were equal and no one “had a spa” if it meant there was not enough water for everyone else. It was an amazing experience. I wish Sea Gals could have been better. It is what it is and cannot be changed. The monetary costs were great and Rowoflife kit used to help Sea Gals and save money for the project will never be returned or reimbursed and has to be written off as a loss. I can replace these items in time and they are material and immaterial at the same time. I am blessed with the friendship of Bev however the friendship between Laura and I was never real in the first place and I thank God for the enlightenment. I am moving, once again, positively forward with my life!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">That being said I think it would be better for me to donate the money I would have spent to attend the awards ceremony to a charity and my time would be better spent with my friends and family who <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300679325_7">love and respect</span> me.</span></div></div></span></div>debmolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09620520089449524015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473204631032813852.post-28860978384948965672011-02-10T14:00:00.000-08:002011-02-13T16:34:06.416-08:002011 02 10—Angela Reports In<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

2011 02 10—Angela Reports In<br />
<br />
<br />
Via Sat Phone to Deb<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Today’s fun on the boat….African Day. Louise gave Angela something (ya know, you don’t always get clear details on the Sat Phone) and Angela made a hat that looked tribal. She matched that up with her tech towel and paraded around the boat. Not to be outdone, Ryan decided that he would participate in African Day by parading around in a loincloth. Hum….I guess after being out on the ocean for 25 days they are starved for entertainment. The other entertainment people have engaged in is writing on the boat with markers and now Big Blue looks like a graffiti canvas.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Angela says everyone has about 20 days of snack packs left and feels they will have plenty of food to make it to Barbados. Angela has worked on the solar water boiler and has gotten it to work again. Apparently, a blockage was not letting the full amount of water release from the boiler. Angela was able to clear the blockage and fix the pump and it is providing water for rehydrating meals. The solar water boiler allows them to heat water without using the precious little stove fuel they have left. She has also built a solar oven out of a dry bag, and an emergency blanket. This allows her to keep the meals warm whilst waiting for the other meals to cook. The solar boiler only makes enough water to rehydrate two meals at a time. Angela’s other project is the external Sat Phone battery charger which is still in progress. I am working with Iridium to get diagrams of their products give to Angela. We are getting close and hopefully we will be able to resume sending messages to the boat.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
They have had some huge waves hitting the boat from the back. At one point Big Blue was rolling along at 13 knots. There is some water in the cabin, but heck…13knots, isn’t it worth it. She expects the winds to change to easterlies, which will push the boat straight west. Currently they are moving southwest. They are looking forward to the easterlies and getting to Barbados. Aleksa tried to give me her drink order, but couldn’t hear it due to the Sat phone. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it……<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Angela says people are doing well for the most part. There is humor and camaraderie on the boat. All of them are ready to be sipping cocktails in Barbados.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Big Blue should hit the half way point tomorrow……..ETA estimate 3/1 /11(averaging 85 mile/day)-3/10/11 (averaging 60 miles/day).<br />

I opened my box to find rats had ravaged it and I had lost 20 days of my food supply. Forty meals at about $5.00 a pop. Liz lost about six meals. I was so angry I had to go outside the gate of the boat yard and let out a big yell. What a waste. Deb and I paid a great deal of money to have a space big enough to sort the food at the house but the authorities would not allow us to move food from the boat to the house so our grand plan was offended and extra costs incurred to us by customs and port authorities. Last night we loaded the food onto the boat and sealed it up. We cannot afford any more loss of provisions as there is no place to purchase or replace expedition food here. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">They could make it easy for us here because we do not fall into pre-established category so they are making the rules. I do not think we have enough money to make it go our way and they do not see past our pocketbooks into the future. Ocean rowers can contribute greatly to their economy in the future as we have this project. Future ocean rowers will not choose to come here when made aware of these circumstances. It would be better for them in the long run to welcome us and ensure our safety and success of our rowing projects. There are other places in the world to row from. They may have us here now but never again. I will take my business elsewhere.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Still no sign of my wheelchair and negative symtoms of life without it are becoming evident with more back, shoulder and wrist pain. The crew are trying to help me out as much as possible and do not mind pushing me around nearly as much as I do. Accepting assistance is a difficult thing for me. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We leave the boathouse at dark so avoiding all of the obstacles becomes more difficult. <span> </span>Abrupt stopping when hitting an obstacle can injure the person pushing and can eject me from the wheelchair.

My Name is Angela Madsen and I am going to row a solo ocean rowing boat with no support boat from California to Hawaii. What this means is that I will stay on my little boat the entire time, no one will give me any food or water, I will have to have enough provisions on board to sustain my life for as long as the journey takes. I will row as many hours a day as I possibly can and will try not to drift too far off course while I sleep. The time established by female soloist Roz Savage is 99 days. I am hiring a professional project manager, Tony Humphrey to facilitate the purchase, shipping and outfitting of a solo rowing boat as well as assisting with fundraising and providing 24/7 land support and weather during my crossing. I will start this rowing expedition Memorial Day weekend, May 30, 2011 from Rainbow Harbor in Long Beach, California and will be rowing 2,551 miles to USS Arizona Memorial, Honolulu, Hawaii as a tribute to Veterans and Service Men and Women who have lost their lives or like myself, who have been injured in the Line of Duty. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I always say Situation and circumstance should never be allowed to dictate who we are and what we will be able to achieve in our lifetime. Allowing situation and circumstance to oppress us is a choice. I dream big and set goals for myself realizing possibilities and potential for success, being hopeful and willing to do what is necessary to achieve those goals. When I first learned of the sport of Ocean Rowing I was drawn to it. I knew I was going to row an ocean. I did not allow the situation of being a woman and a paraplegic stop me. I just had to work harder and work differently to achieve my goals.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My current project can be followed on www.bigbluerow.com I was planning my solo row when this crew approached me a few months ago and asked me to skipper their boat across the Atlantic in January of 2011, they clearly needed help so I agreed to go with their project. I have decided that rather than postpone my solo project, I can try to do both. It is an ambitious plan but I am a paraplegic who rows across oceans. It seems rather normal to me. I don't have a lot of time to go out and find a sponsor so if through networking someone can help connect my team with a perfect partner to sponsor a first ever paraplegic to row across an ocean then I would be eternally grateful. I do have a fantastic story. On my first crossing I could not find sponsors because no one believed a paraplegic could do it. Now all anyone has to do is check my resume of rowing achievements on www.RowofLife.com <br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Just to bring everyone up to speed on what Angela Madsen is up to these days</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I do have another rowing project. It is not my solo row that I had begun planning and am chomping at the bit to do. It is something different and interesting. I took a visually impaired rower from Canada ocean rowing. He was considering rowing across the Atlantic. He found me on the internet. He is no longer with the project as he became violently ill on the boat, Sea Sickness combined with some shoulder problems changed his mind about ocean rowing but hey that is why I do the introductory ocean rowing classes. It should be everyone’s first step when considering rowing an ocean. The project that he was part of had lost their skipper so Franck told them about me. I began receiving e-mails from this guy Steve</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Steve is relentless and convincing when he wants something, He does not give up! My kind of people! I began finding out more about their project, the crew, the boat and David. I discussed it with Debs, looked at what horrible financial shape I am in from all of this ocean rowing without sponsors, Gave much thought to my solo ocean rowing project and decided what the Hell, <b>I can do both</b>. First thing was to jump right in and organize sea trials for the project. To make sure it happened as this crew had been let down and abandoned before. They were not prepared, much of the critical information they needed to ensure success of their project was missing. I signed on late in the game with some big challenges and I have been cramming them with information, so much they could now be successful without me. They know what they are doing and why, from preparation of the boat to survival training, they have an extreme sense of caring for crew, camaraderie and of loyalty. They are amazing! We are still looking to fill the 16<sup>th</sup> spot on the crew.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Debs and I leave for Morocco on Christmas day.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I will blog more on my solo rowing project another time, I have not postponed it, changed or deviated from my plan, and it got a little more complicated and difficult. It became more interesting!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

If we can get the boat assembled and all the food ready to load we should be able to Begin the Row <span class="yshortcuts"><span id="lw_1291791256_2" style="cursor: pointer;">on Jan 8</span></span>. I was hoping to get some training in, row to Catalina, Newport Harbor, Dana Harbor, and <span class="yshortcuts"><span id="lw_1291791256_3" style="background-attachment: scroll;">San Diego</span></span>. Not much time left before heading off to row the Atlantic again. So I put Rowoflife in the water the day of Christmas <span class="yshortcuts"><span id="lw_1291791256_4" style="cursor: pointer;">Regatta</span></span> <span class="yshortcuts"><span id="lw_1291791256_5" style="background-attachment: scroll; cursor: pointer;">on Sunday</span></span> and rowed a bit, checked all my deck hatches, nice and dry. Then we rowed last night. I went to go for a row today. First things first, I checked all the deck hatches. We had a bit of rain so I was fully prepared to pump out some water. I removed the <span class="yshortcuts"><span id="lw_1291791256_6" style="cursor: pointer;">survival suits</span></span> which were floating around in what looked like way more than rainwater in the starboard battery compartment. I removed the battery. I began pumping and the water level went down. As soon as I thought I got it all I stopped pumping and noticed that the water was pouring in through an 8 inch crack in the hull. She is compartmentalized much like the <span class="yshortcuts"><span id="lw_1291791256_7">Titanic</span></span> so she wasn't really sinking but not willing to chance it. I had rowed it from the Dunster dock over to the rowing dock and noticed a woman in a kayak, Beth, paddling towards me. As soon as she got close enough she said “I <span class="yshortcuts"><span id="lw_1291791256_8">Google</span></span> searched your name” we talked and then she offered to help me get the boat out of the water. I was sad to see the water pouring out of the crack in the hull. Is it repairable? Guess I'll find out soon enough. I hope so.</span></div>debmolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09620520089449524015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473204631032813852.post-89750414522418105742010-12-07T23:29:00.000-08:002010-12-07T23:29:05.205-08:00New Project--Big Blue Atlantic Row<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp1Sm5a19-yeWyE7lQEAhPjcOjAJ1Ig4aWnT-Sc4VSNNzLiQl4Tib8-mbBWYkvZJrsBUNdlP_HdNLGw440B41o4cbMiXmfLnQVg3finYRYSE_nJT4N4D3VdqXXB6ijQWT3oQoGiscblNDp/s1600/Atl+Sat+Mapa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp1Sm5a19-yeWyE7lQEAhPjcOjAJ1Ig4aWnT-Sc4VSNNzLiQl4Tib8-mbBWYkvZJrsBUNdlP_HdNLGw440B41o4cbMiXmfLnQVg3finYRYSE_nJT4N4D3VdqXXB6ijQWT3oQoGiscblNDp/s320/Atl+Sat+Mapa.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Flare Guns do Kick by Angela</span><br />
<br />
<br />
July 13, 2010<br />
<br />
In the middle of the night on July 13, 2010, Angela and Laura took to the oars. They requested Bel give them the VHF Radio and turn on the SeaMe. Just after the start of their shift, they called the Coast Guard to advise that there was a big ship headed toward them. They were able to get the ship to change course. Shortly after that, there was another big ship headed toward them. They again called the Coast Guard who contacted the ship. That ship’s captain had some difficulty understanding what the Coast Guard was saying. They said they could not see Go Commando and they kept on their collision course. Angela reached for the flare gun and shot up a white, anti-collision, flare. She heard the ship’s captain tell the coast guard they had seen the flare and were changing course. Angela said it was the closest call with a big ship in all of her 166 days at sea in 3 ocean crossings.<br />
<br />
There was a casualty of the encounter. When Angela shot the flare gun, it had a big kick. She has a large cut on her hand, broke her left index finger, and other bones in her hand. Apparently, her homecoming on Tuesday will include a visit to her favorite doctor, Dr. G, at the Long Beach Veteran’s Hospital. So if you see Angela trying to make her way around London pushing her chair with one hand, give her some kindness.debmolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09620520089449524015noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473204631032813852.post-72212700941352975792010-07-13T01:20:00.000-07:002010-07-13T01:20:59.619-07:00Poetic blog from Bev near Middlesbrough July 12<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJoj9-kWlnMXar7LXpkLuwl46dKcm7G8hl8-vOn_C8A8GFZsf0LIynqTlZnOc9LfQGAhXEq0XKiR6Zd7kYKJ63n9aZlKvXMkF7R8C-P2NDH6QflgjkcayKHV1gJF2xUS-MjJ6z5P02cGHM/s1600/Bev+6+18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" rw="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJoj9-kWlnMXar7LXpkLuwl46dKcm7G8hl8-vOn_C8A8GFZsf0LIynqTlZnOc9LfQGAhXEq0XKiR6Zd7kYKJ63n9aZlKvXMkF7R8C-P2NDH6QflgjkcayKHV1gJF2xUS-MjJ6z5P02cGHM/s320/Bev+6+18.jpg" /></a></div><br />

</div>Racing to win the Virgin GB row,<br />
<br />
a crew of girls aboard Go Commando.<br />
<br />
Rowing around Britain, this intrepid four<br />
<br />
have been out at sea for a month and more<br />
<br />
through high winds, storm, rain and shine<br />
<br />
the girls are striving to make good time.<br />
<br />
With messages of goodwill they know<br />
<br />
friends and family shout, ‘go Seagals, go!’<br />
<br />
Now almost there and on the home straight<br />
<br />
the aim of all is to try not to be late<br />
<br />
for engagements and dates previously known.<br />
<br />
The Seagals are ready to finally go home…debmolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09620520089449524015noreply@blogger.com0
