Extra! Extra!

The row is now warm days and cool nights, and we’re pleased to report that Dadli Gyal is gliding through the water on the strength of good wind, waves, and woman power as we approach the finish line.

We’re tired and pumped up at the same time, and we’re pretty certain that we’re going to erupt with elation at the sight of the Kauai coastline. We might just post!

That said, we’ve got some things on our minds—like food.

Here are our first meal requests:

Samara and Christal—nice, fat, juicy steaks (medium well) and French Fries. Or maybe BBQ ribs. Or both. 🥩🍟🍖

Kevinia—fresh fruits—mangoes, pineapple, etc, and grilled chicken breast, rice or fries and veggies. 🥭🍍🍗

Coconut water for everyone. 🥥

What are we looking forward to most?

Sam—getting off the boat and not seeing it again for a while.

Kevinia—shower, sleep and a real toilet.

Christal—land, real food and recuperation.

What’s keeping us pumped up these days?

Watching the miles to finish dwindling.

Stay tuned to the platforms of the World’s Toughest Row for the livestream of our arrival and, after that, our arrival video.

Remember, this is for a cause—to establish a home for girls in conflict with the law, so please give at https://www.gofundme.com/f/team-antigua-island-girlsback-on-the-row-again and Caribbean Union Bank, Acct # 20004631, or call our support team at 268 736-6068. We also still have bills to pay, so we’re asking you please to rally with us these next few hundred miles and after.

Years ago, when he was asked to reflect on his own life, General Colin Powell described himself as “first and foremost a problem-solver.” It was true, of course. But he was far more than that.

General Powell was an exemplary soldier and an exemplary patriot. He was at the center of some of the most consequential events of our lifetimes – serving two decorated tours in Vietnam; guiding U.S. strategy in the Gulf War; serving as National Security Advisor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Secretary of State; offering counsel to four presidents; and helping shape American foreign policy for decades. Everyone who worked with General Powell appreciated his clarity of thought, insistence on seeing all sides, and ability to execute. And although he’d be the first to acknowledge that he didn’t get every call right, his actions reflected what he believed was best for America and the people he served.

Along the way, General Powell helped a generation of young people set their sights higher. He never denied the role that race played in his own life and in our society more broadly. But he also refused to accept that race would limit his dreams, and through his steady and principled leadership, helped pave the way for so many who would follow. It was the way Colin Powell saw the world – not as a starry-eyed idealist, but as someone with deep and abiding faith in this country and what it stands for – that made him such a central figure.

On a personal level, I was deeply appreciative that someone like General Powell, who had been associated with Republican administrations in the past, was willing to endorse me in 2008. But what impressed me even more was how he did it. At a time when conspiracy theories were swirling, with some questioning my faith, General Powell took the opportunity to get to the heart of the matter in a way only he could.

“The correct answer is, he is not a Muslim; he's a Christian,” General Powell said. “But the really right answer is, ‘What if he is?’ Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer's no, that's not America. Is there something wrong with some seven-year-old Muslim-American kid believing that he or she could be president?”

That’s who Colin Powell was. He understood what was best in this country, and tried to bring his own life, career, and public statements in line with that ideal. It’s why, for all the battles he fought and problems he solved, Michelle and I will always look to General Powell as an example of what America – and Americans – can and should be if we wish to remain the last, best hope of earth.

Our family sends our thoughts to Alma, their three children and grandchildren, and everyone mourning his loss today.
