hmm,, shades of yesteryear? seems he picks young chicks, for his dream voyage. again now with Ms Ahmad. What will ensue? from 1999 NY Times wedding announcement: "Three years ago, Mr. Reid Stowe met Laurence Guillen, now 26, (now 34) while visiting a boat-building school where her father teaches, in La Rochelle in her native France. Ms. Guillen, tall and thin as a mast, looks like Christy Turlington with ringlets. ''She knew about boats, but she didn't like sailors,'' said Mr. Stowe, who is twice divorced. ''She was more into French intellectualism, French art and movies.'' 1999 PINGBACK: "Mr. Stowe, a painter and sculptor, ....At 47, he is preparing for his most ambitious adventure, 1,000 straight days at sea, out of sight of land, which would set a record. He says the journey will be as difficult and disorienting as traveling to Mars." fast forward to 2007.....2008.....2009....2010

turns out, Reid did not make that blog title, his land team support staff did, so he is not to blame. they explained it on the blog now and it will be fixed soon. So happy sailing Reid and AS!

This is how REid's blog reads now: "1000 Days Non-stop at Sea: Stories of Reid Stowe (sic), the Schooner (sic) Anne, and her Quest (Sic) to set a new sailing record of 1,000 Days @ Sea w/o stopping or resupply." Notice no mention of Soanya's name there. Why is that? I wrote to him on his blog and asked him to correct his to say "stories of Reid Stowe and Soanya Ahmad....." But he deletede my comment and refused to make change. Go figure.

One thing I don't get: Reid's blog only lists HIM as the storyteller, he doesn't even mention Soanya's name in the subtitle. And he gloats in another post at how Yahoo listed his news story as Number One all day Sunday, as if he is in this more for rating and Fame and PR for his book and movie later, than really doing this for real reasons. He is a fame seeker. Like all Americans. see the subtitle of his blog. he is not for real and he is not giving Soanya credit. WHY? is he is this for OTHER reasons. the media should be asking this?

Reid has been working on this trip for so long. I'm delighted he finally found his mermaid and was able to set sail. Visiting the boat a few years ago was really neat since most boats around here are pleasure crafts. May the winds take your troubles away, Reid & Sonya.

Yet another reason that bloggers will all have a special place in Hell so they can irritate each other.

This couple is destined to be featured in an episode of "I Shouldn't Be Alive."

I have been somewhat passively observing Reed's years long and difficult quest to go on this epic journey. The Schooner Anne is a very beautiful boat which at the same time seems quite fragile when faced with the vastness of the world's oceans for 1,000 days. I wish Reed and Soanya clear sailing and travelling mercies and look forward to reading about their progress.
