Regarding Day 1
Posted by Amy on June 14th, 2009 -
This is Amy, Andrew’s girl-pal. This post is actually a bit of a backtrack and includes pictures from the launch out of Portland, ME on June 7th. Andrew and I traveled up to Portland that Saturday morning and enjoyed some fabulous food and drink courtesy of Kev, Jess and Jer to kick off his departure. The next morning a group of us saw him off down at the marina, where he dipped his wheels in the Atlantic before officially beginning the long haul. Many thanks to Kev, Jess, Jer, Jevan and Becky for their support!

I'm done now, so there isn't much going on here. I used Twitter to publish updates during the ride, which worked out very well - highly recommended!

Wonderful shots of the send-off, Amy. I see the hairstyle became somewhat more radical after leaving NYC. Gave me goosebumps to witness such an inspirational moment … until I noticed the chicken. Yeah, this is gonna be fun to follow.
