“ I don't know what happened - my email is the same...

I was so bummed I didn't make it to the BBQ. We were set to come and when we started down our driveway we saw a torrent of water running down the street from our house! We had to call the plumber. Two days later it still isn't fixed...

I just know this is going to cost a million bucks!!! ”

“ EARTHRACE will be docking at Driscol Boat Yard on Shelter Island. We have 10News set to cover her refueling, maybe a local bio Van business as port hosts, and still hoping we can get a few maori warriors there to welcome them. Need a couple of pavs made too ... Any help would be appreciated. See you on the dock, then again on the 17th at Vicki and Bill's Beaut BBQ!!!!

“ I am shouting to all Not sure where to post Vicki, maybe you can move to a better place if there is one. I want to encourage all interested to go to EARTHRACE'S website www.earthrace.net and follow her progress. They are ahead of schedule and passing through the Panama Canal now. Check out the great boat locator there.

Crew needs help with some food supplies to get them to the next stop. Rice and Curry for 6, snack bars, fruit etc. Let me know if anyonewants to donate. ”

“ Should be able to make it after all. It's my son's 4th birthday, which is in the afternoon and I have an event in the AM, so evening works out (he might not come if he's too tired). Met some of the people from the Aussie group last night. ”

“ Hello!
Thought I better clarify something... In the photo, I am the one on the right... I know it is not clear that I am a girl by my name...

c'est la vie.

I would have had the perfect kapahaka group for you Alison but they relocated to Utah and are currently in NZ, I know, stink ay!

I can do a mean long poi but you DO NOT want me to sing.... he he!

Looking forward to getting together and meeting some kiwis at last!

“ Hi Guys, I'd already added information first on the Aussie group, buy was too lazy to repeat it here. Have added now.

I'm already double booked for May 17th, _but_ I will be at the Anzac meeting this evening in Carlsbad, maybe I'll see you there.

I'm in South Carlsbad, off Poinsettia. I work in Mira Mesa. ”

“ This is not just for Vicki's Eyes Only lol .... I want to formally extend an invite to any and all Kiwis to come down and welcome in Earthrace when they are in San Diego in April. Stay tunned I will post more as I know it. Would be awesome to arrange a Kiwi get-togther with them when here. If anyone has a school group contact, for an in-school visit or them following and visiting the boat when it's here .. let me know :-) Meet you all soon I hope!!

Alison ”

“ Thank You Vicki,

I look forward to meeting other fellow Kiwis. I have an immediate need to find a Maori Dance Group. I wonder if everyone's heard of the NZ Bio Fuel boat attemptiong to break the world record of circumnavigating the world? Check it out if not www.Earthrace.net I am in contact with them and they will be in San Diego mid April. I would like to find a welcoming group of dancers and supporters. ”
