Day 10: Returning to La Paz
What an amazing trip we’ve had, in no small part due to the crew and the Doc Ricketts pilots on theWestern Flyer. We’d like to send sincere thanks to Captain Ian Young, Andrew McKee, Cole Davis, Lance Wardle, Shaun Summer, Olin Jordan, Craig Heihn, Jason Jordan, Dan Chamberlain, Patrick Mitts, Knute Brekke, Marco Talkovic, Randy Prickett, Bryan Schaeffer, and Ben Erwin. You’ve made our time on the ship productive and lots of fun as well.
It’s late on Saturday and we can see La Paz now.
