Hi Guys,

Just wanted to drop you all a line to say thanks to everyone who's been supporting over on the new project (kck.st/oDvej9). Just wanted to send a reminder that the project wraps tomorrow at 9 PM PST. We're just over 60% funded (been making big strides the last few days!) but still have a bit to push to pull this thing off. If you wanna chip in, there are some nice, new rewards this round - something for everybody! It's pretty amazing how far this voyage has come on such a tiny budget -  We can finish, I know we can!


Thank you all dearly for all the support. You're the reason this thing was possible in the first place!

The cheeriest of holidays to you dear backers, all my love from this wild blue road -

Emily

Hello Again All,

Looks like the link didn't properly make it through in yesterday's update. For those of you interested in checking out or supporting the new round of funding, here is the correct link:

Thanks again and happy holidays!

Hello backers - you kings and queens of generosity, kind souls who set me off on this fantastic journey,

Emily here, writing again from the remote corners of our planet, those watery latitudes and longitudes that have become a sort of home for me. In the spirit of the holidays and all other things kind and cheery, I have a small favor to ask of you!

I mentioned a handful of weeks ago that I have a new Kickstarter project going at the moment - a campaign to raise funds for some much needed repair-making while I'm in New Guinea. The short of it is that the ocean is a wild place, and thousands upon thousands of miles can and have really taken their toll on things; at this point i'm halfway through the some 20K+ miles in total the voyage will be, but pushing the boat past this point without addressing some major issues is both unwise and unsafe; In other words, these funds are pretty crucial in helping make the rest of the voyage a success.

We're down to 6 days to go on the current project and I could majorly use yall's help spreading the link around! If you're a baller and/or are swimming in it during these dark days, feel free to embrace your baller status by throwing in a few bucks again this round - I assure you you'll be kindly rewarded for your efforts!

I know this is the very unsexy middle of the project (unlike the oh so glamorous beginning when it's all hopes and dreams, or the excitement of the finish line with all the hugs and high fives) but arguably it's the most important time to support - Please consider lending a hand these next few days, it only takes a few seconds to let your friends know about a project you want to see succeed!


Huge thanks again to all of you for being a part of this craziest of pursuits...I can't believe how far we've come!


Bye for now and happy holidays!

Forever yours,
Emily

Hiiii guuuuyyys!

We've made such huge strides the last few days - thank you so so much for all your support! There are over 60 backers now - so amazing!

Also for those asking what the charts at the $120 level look like, below is a quick picture.

Things are getting pretty hectic around here with last minute preparations in order for a departure westward across the Pacific slated for the 24 or 25th. It's getting so close!

Thanks again for all the support, you guys are amazing!

HI Guys!

We've come along way over the weekend - we're at nearly 50% now with a week to go! Huge huge thanks to everyone who's been spreading the word and supporting! It's so encouraging to have so many new backers!

Just a quick note for those new to my project/trip. I"ve got a eyeglasses recycling program I'm organizing where I'll do drops at various points around the globe. If anyone has an extra pair of old eyeglasses lying around please consider recycling them. A lot of the spots I'm hitting during the voyage are extremely remote and the glasses could be put back to good use again with new owners. I'm hoping to make the first drops in the various island chains of the South Pacific so if you're interested in sending your old pair that way try to get them mailed in within the next few days. All the info you need is here: http://www.bobbieroundstheworld.com/eyeglasses/

Okay, that's all for now. Back to the boat to wrap up some install work on the SSB radio/modem. Goodnight all!

Emily
