via Round the World We Go!! by Emily Richmond

By July I was heading up the mouth of the Lempa River in El Salvador. I kid you not, one of the first people I’d run into was one of only a  handful of people I’d known in the country: an old acquaintance named Santos Torres. He and his family were living off an island called Cordoncillo there in the middle of the swampy, tropical Mayan ruins. He took me in, we became the best of mates and spent our days  racing up and down rivers and inlets, looking for crocodiles, visiting villages, eating sugar cane straight from the stalk, laughing, shouting, drinking up that wild air.

Backing this amazing project on Kickstarter because what Emily is doing is amazing, terrifying, brave, crazy, inspiring, and, at the same time, the stuff nightmares are made of. I’ve been following her sailing voyage around the world for the last two years and I feel really lucky that I have another chance to support such a rare adventure. Please reblog! Share! 

THANK YOU, MIKE!!!!
