We’ve passed the three week mark on the Ocean Rescue Run! Dave has run for 23 days, completing 1008.35 km / 626.56 miles. Since I primarily write the blog now I know people must miss hearing from Dave as intimately and as much as they used to. So voila! Why are you doing this run?

Coming home early from Raja Ampat due to my battle with malaria, has given me the much needed time to focus on the Ocean Rescue Run. I haven’t organized anything like this before and the time required to give it a chance of being successful is tremendous. My mom and I have been busy over
Things have come a long way since I've been back home. My health has gotten much better, Ranny is doing incredible things in Raja Ampat and Friendly Drifter is evolving once more.
