Jerome is back online!! just got a SPOT update to my phone - I jumped on the computer and the tracker is working too!! He is almost past Brooks Peninsula - for those who are not familiar with the Vancouver Island - Brooks can be a wild place - juts far out into the Pacific ocean - always gets swell. He should be in touch with civilization soon if he stays closer to shore - if not it will be a couple of days.

Go Jerome!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know you were out there, you sly dog, until a reporter from the Province contacted me. If anyone can do it, it's you. God Speed and good weather!

ReplyDeleteHopefully we can do follow-up story when he has cell reception again, or after he finishes his trip.
Thanks Colin Angus, Rob Hansen, Rob Sutherland and Bob Putnam for taking the time to chat with me today about your friend.
Best of luck, Jerome.
Cheers,
