Hey y'all, this is Scott - Rich's son and guest blogger extraordinaire - reporting in with a quick update! Got a call from the man himself a few minutes ago: The ship launched at 10 this morning, and is currently anchored of the coast of Montauk. Dad's cell phone signal was kinda non-existent at the point I talked to him at, but we still managed to connect the call, so Western civ isn't entirely behind him yet. Soon enough, though, he'll be on his way with this crazy 80 day race around the world or whatever. But seriously folks, wish the man luck. It's not every day you get to take a trip to the furthest corners of the Earth and get paid for it, and I'm sure he has enough books and cigars to keep him entertained for the long oceanic stretches between destinations.
So, Adieu Rich Delbango, we'll see you in two months! Keep your wits about it in the choppy, pirate-heavy waters. And if the swine flu gets us all before you make it to the mainland, at least you'll have been insulated from it!
Good job Scott. We all look forward to your posts.
