Thank you so much for documenting your trip(s). I watched your whole A27 cruise in two evenings and learned so much about the ICW. 9' deep, 3 miles from shore! Amazing! Up around the bend from us the Hood Canal goes to over 400' and is over 100' out in front of our place, 8 miles from the tippy end. You have inspired me to get our boat back in the water and quit fooling around with it. Thank you, sir.

Roger, I loved your videos. You inspire me to do the trip singlehanded as you did.

I'm sure you would love the experience as I did. Much more fun to sail with company but solo if you have to.

Thank you for posting your travels and flying the AOG burgee. I have not completed all the videos yet. I am on to #4 as I write this.

Thank you John. I'm still proudly flying the AOG burgee years later in my study here in the UK!
