Yes she had a TV show. If I remember right she was not young at the time but had aged very well.
Well it’s pointed the wrong way like the other poster said, but I’ve seen some tranverse motors that were pretty easy to work on. What did Lee Iococca say about it?
25 miles straight line including the paddle around the San Pedro and through Angels Gate to Two Harbors. Took about 8 hours over, but only 4 coming back with the current, waves, and wind.
No death wish. I trained for over a year to make that trip and it was a carefully planed and calculated risk.
Ed Gillette paddled from Monterey to Hawaii. His stories are a lot more interesting than mine. I didn’t have to eat my tooth paste.
We should start a new thread about *A Car from My Youth That I Should Have Kept*...and that 6-pack is a Keeper with a capital K!
It’s a popular belief that Iaccoca saved Chrysler from bankruptcy with the K-cars.
“If you find a better car, buy it.”

26 miles, across the sea
santa catalina is waiting for me
the island of romance, romance
You have my deepest admiration. I shy away from big white water when paddling.
I understand about training for an athletic goal .... trained for two, to climb Mt. Washington and the Presidentials. One thing it’s difficult to train for, is the weather.
I like this vid of the trek:

Heh, lightening above the tree line can be very exciting.
“I wonder what happens now”
—Ed Gillette regarding what it was like to be submerged by breaking waves generated by tropical storms whilst paddling to Hawaii.
I studied and watched the weather patterns carefully. No storms or fog to obscure visibility of/to the ships that clog the channel. The shipping traffic was the biggest danger. I tooted with my canned air horn and they honked back that they saw me, and all was well.
Yosemite?
Zion?
I was Blessed to be able to put my life into my '05 'ManCave' last Dec ... driving down to the Lower 48 where I now wander about ... pestering my friends.
Ultimately I'll tire of the road and find myself a cabin and a barn ... probably somewhere around 'Small-Town TX.
Will share a few pics once I get that all figured out again.

OK, then, it still is lacking one cylinder head (and four cylinders).
Real cars smoke the rear wheels.
Yet a *smug-factor* kicks in when I'm sitting in traffic next to a car that is costing the owner $375.+ in monthly payments...huge repair fees and costs of high-test fuel.
Sure it has AWD, a NAV system, CD player. *Ronnie Raygun* Smugness: No payments, my property taxes went from $500./year to $37....insurance cut 75%....I'll never have to visit an emissions inspection station again....instead of a $98. fill-up at the pump, it's $30. tops. So what if a bicycle passes me on a hill ....I'm happy, comfortable and even camp.
Go ahead and tease me...I can take it. They criticized *Reaganomics* ....'tis my version thereof.....furthermore....*Facts are stupid things.* ;D
