Mission accomplished!
Yes that’s me, paddling in the Pacific. Never satisfied, I hopped on a boat for a tour of Vladivostok’s amazing natural harbour which positively bristles with some very serious looking ships – and got a bit further east in the process……you know, just to make sure……
...to be free 
Jenny! I’m finally fully up to date …. 5 or 6 readings so far never quite got me up to where you ARE ….. and unless you’ve swum even further east (?!!), I feel I’m vaguely “with you”!! So lovely to read you revelling in it all …. I am too!! much love, wendy xxxx
