It seemed to us that the main reason why the problem had remained so long unsolved was that no one had been able to obtain any adequate practice.

So I am off. Blogging is good and I want to selfishly share with you some of the things I will be thinking of for the next 24 hours or so:

My first morning on Maupiti.

The day I spent climbing and reeling on top of Mount Teurafaatui in Maupiti. My guesthouse was on the ocean side of the island to the left of the pass.

My last sunrise in French Polynesia with Blackdog and iLean. Crap.

Send good vibes and throw some garlic around your neck. I need some luck passing through NY on July 4th after the recent BS in Britain (yes, I watched the news).

Peace, love and happiness (yes I've turned into one of those).
