About Us
- Gilbert Fulford & Eliah Thanhauser
- This trip is the culmination of nearly two years of scheming and is made possible by the generous help and support of family and friends. The plan is to take the boat - recently redubbed ICE NINE, from Ketchikan, Alaska to our home port of Belfast, Maine. A trip of nearly 10,000 miles. When we began I gave our chance of success as 25 percent. Now, as I write this in Port Townsend, Washington I will revise that figure to 35 percent. No matter what happens, we will take the boat as far as we can safely manage and intend to take enough time to enjoy the people and places we visit along the way. Please enjoy the blog and feel free to comment or express concern about my ability to operate a camera. - Gib
Did you know that it takes 10,000lbs of diatoms to make 1,000 lbs of copepods which produces 100lbs of smelt which yields 10 lbs of mackeral, which as food makes 1 lb of salmon which when eaten increases a human's body weight by .10 of a lb.!! Looks like Gilbert has at least 200,000lbs of diatoms on that line!!!
