Floro and a day "off" 7 August




Hi.........................................


A well earned day of rest in a very picturesque spot.

Not much to do which was great. A day for blogging and resting. Thom has a bike problem that is distracting him.

I took a picture of the town and the fjord and a Japanese man Shuhei Seki, we met at the Hotel. He is flying an aeroplane, that he built, round the world. What a magnificent adventure. He is just flying as weather permits. He has no devices, other than a parachute that will let him and the plane down softly and a small liferaft, and was most taken with our locaters that send a signal (that I hope you use -see link on blog- to see where I have been. We asked him about a bad landing like in the sea and his reply was its is so cold that help will not matter !
He has a camera on the wing that takes amazing photographs. He has one of an iceberg, glaciers, and some amazing scenes.
Anyway this guy is a really adventurer in my view. He built the plane in the US and then flew to Canada, then Greenland,Iceland the Faroes and then right here where we are in Floro, Norway. Amazing. This guy is a legend and is so unassuming. He is just doing it.
So thats todays story.
