Last night I was in Michigan, giving a presentation on behalf of the Headwaters Trail, now I am back in Washington DC, and tomorrow I shall be in Virginia. I am loving this, but am also starting to feel a bit like "Today is Sunday, so I must be in ....". But that's my life - have truck, will travel!

This was the title used by Yorkshire TV for a half-hour documentary they presented about Roz and her row across the Atlantic. It was the second part of their series entitled "Is it worth it?" It was first shown on British TV, channel 3 on 12th of March. It seems likely that it will be shown again on Thursday March 29th in the Yorkshire
area at 11.30pm. Viewers in that area are advised to check the listings.
Many people have made comments to me about the documentary, and expressed their amazement at how she coped with the adventure. Although Roz says that it was the hardest thing that she had ever done, the message comes over clearly that it was indeed worth it
In preparation for the film, Roz and I were filmed in Roundhay Park in Leeds and the picture shows the lakeside cafeteria in the background and a little bit of frozen snow on the path. A week or two later the cafeteria was badly damaged by fire. Nothing has been said about the boathouse, which is located beneath the cafeteria. I trust that it has survived. It was in a boat belonging to the Rowing Club based there that Roz was seen rowing in part of the film.

Yesterday I recorded an interview with Roberta Jasina of WWJ Radio in Michigan, as a taster for my presentation in Fenton on Saturday night. You can listen to it here.

I shall be doing a presentation in Fenton, Michigan, this coming Saturday, as a fundraiser for Headwater Trails, The talk will take place at the AGS Middle School Cafetorium, 3255 Donaldson Drive, at 7pm. Proceeds from this fundraiser contribute to the development of the Top of the Shiawassee River Trail.
I will be showing excerpts from my Atlantic videos, and talking about the experience of spending 103 days on the ocean - alone.
You can obtain tickets from the Headwaters website - click here.
