Round Africa with a Surfboard

I'm in. Can't wait to see what's next!

Tried to donate, but having internet issues. I'll send some money for that well when I have a better connection.

Wow again, great write up, great pics cant wait for more

Looks like you got out ahead of an Ebola outbreak in Guinea and Sierra Leone.

I know that Ebola isn't a waterborne illness, but let's get this well business finished. The folks who benefit from it have enough else to worry about...

Thats great!

Fantastic ride report, really enjoying it!

Donation sent.

Awesome ride report, helping me get through this miserably cold Minnesota winter.

Donation sent!

wow, i just finished catching up on this RR. amazing stuff. all day at work i think about what i need to do to make this type of trip happen. please keep us updated when you can. awesome that you are active in the places you stop at.

Great RR! Such a long trip is not in it for me unfortunately. Just donated for the water project, hope it will happen soon.
I'm not a surfer but a canoeist. Bringing along a canoe on a motorbike will be tricky. This year I will make a trip to the Balkans (Croatia, Servie, Bosnie) and bring along a Packraft to be able to spend some days on rivers/waters.
In your last report shows the not to good reputation of my country in the past. Not something to be proud of. Holland doesn't trade slaves anymore but hosts the G7 summit, being to small to join.
Keep up this great RR, drive safe! No hospital 'accomodation' like so much other RR's report.

That Ebola outbreak in Guinea is getting bad. It has spread into
the capital city of Conakry.

No retreating now...

yikes. hope it doesn't go much further...

meanwhile in Sierra Leone.. our well is nearly funded

Subscribed and donated. $20 closer to clean water.

Keep it up Gary. My wife and I circumnavigated for a year and only wish we would have shared our experience as well as you have. It's easy to float around, take it all in and even snap some pics. It's another thing entirely to take the time to provide inspired updates to those following. Great stuff.

thanks for the help guys - every bit is appreciated.

CFLsurfer - hoping that I'm successful at completing what you've already done! Sharing the whole thing is fun for me - happy to make the effort

$125 donated. Is there a website we can go to to see the progress made on the well...when that happens? Would be gratifying to see...

Way to get us over the finish line!

And that my friends is all she wrote. Next step is wire transfer to Coco's non-profit org bank and then get this thing dug.

Coco visits the villages up there regularly and he will provide me the info on progress and images that I'll post on the website (see my signature) and here on this thread. Nice job guys, more than anyone, the riders made it happen.

it was your inspiration and motivation that put it into gear.

I'm happy to have been a very small part of it. Its great to see money go to something that will provide a huge daily benefit for years and years.

Now get surfing
