Wow… great presentation Thor!!! What a bonus seeing Tom Robinson too.
Great Presentation thanks Thor! I love the low techness of the expedition, turns out you don’t need any epoxy resin or dyneema to have a capable boat!
Inspiring, fascinating and engaging in every way! Loved this presentation and wish the entire crew well.
