It would clearly also be useful if you came up against any Predators, since you are in their neck of the woods, so to speak. There are only two problems with this solution, though. Firstly, I think it will probably give you a bad back but then you can't have everything. Secondly, it may prove difficult to raise the required funding (I suspect upwards of a couple of million dollars would be needed). So, since you always need a backup plan, he is a lower cost alternative: http://www.patient-pharmacy.co.uk/details.asp?productid=DHR100 Let me know which one you want and I'll get it ordered.

Like lots of others, I really enjoy reading the updates so keep them coming. Just remember if you chose to cancel and come back sooner than first planned, it may result in going back to work early. Surely that is enough to keep you going. Keep it up and I hope you both feel better soon.

Perhaps you could ship the bikes back and continue with a less energetic tour if the problem persists? The kiting's been fantastic over the last few days - make sure it's not a lengthy injury otherwise I'll be kicking your arse by the time you get back on the water!
