Dear friends,
Weigh anchor! Well… we actually started the journey almost 8 months ago. So many emails, meetings, brain storming sessions, miles and sleepless nights. And how many wonderful people helping us. And how many “no, thank you’s”.
This journey is a very simple one. Yet behind the simplicity are many complex things happening. You’ll see it more clearly along on the way.
I want to thank all my friends like Roland, Silvio, Lele, Emanuele, Claudio, Bepi, Marisa, Alessandro, Sandro, Pati, Sebastiano, Fabio, Giovanni, Jacopo, Paolo, Armando, Michele, Marino, Vitaliano, Armando Annibale, Kathy, Julie, Pete, Gavin, Robert Jr, Jeff, Carl… and many other kind souls. The crew and the world are my family. So I thank them all.
The boat will be finished in 4 weeks, Roland and Silvio are working hard. Eden Exit, our communication experts, are doing a superb job. I’m running, biking, walking and sailing around – telling school children and old and young people about this wonderful trip. And I’m still looking for help. We have no money and we are still searching for some materials, such as canvas for the sail, tarpaulin, some equipment for the Ness Yawl and other stuff besides.
We need all of you to be on board!
Let the river run

An amazing project – and a worthwhile aim. I can’t wait for the journey to begin (beyond the build) and read about the responses it elicits. Buon viaggio!
Thank you my friends. A lot of good souls. All the web site is an Eden Exit miracle. They are super!
See you on board!?
Hugs and fair winds
Bravo Giacomo, you’re my hero!
Great project, if you’ve not done so already you should get a copy of The unlikely voyage of Jack de Crow http://www.amazon.co.uk/Unlikely-Voyage-Jack-Crow-Odyssey/dp/1574091522/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265903398&sr=1-1
apart from it being a similar journey in a similar perhaps even slower boat, it’s a really well written and enjoyable book. My apologies if 10 people have already told you to read this.
Thank you Jake, I have been delighted by the reading on Jack the Crow adventure, well..odissey. I would like so much to meet Makkinnon. Thank you for your kind suggestion. And thank you Michael. I am proud to be your hero. Just know you are one of “our” heroes too. probably you are very well known already among the “boat people” in Venice and Italy.
We will keep your picture on the boat, with us, hoping that one day YOU will be there.

Grazie Alfredo. A presto e ti posto prestissimo su MAn on the River. Complimenti per il tuo sito. Tra l’altro.
Buon vento e vieni con me se puoi. Basta seguirmi sulla pagina apposta che faremo.
Bravo Giacomo, you are amazing! Great job and great project! It needs a lot of patient, effort and knowledge for something like that!
Keep working like this and you may earn a contract at Kos Marina!
