My name is Charles Brigham, and I am on an ecological tour of the entire world, by bicycle and sailing boat, to promote alternative methods of travel.
Fourteen months ago I left my home in Madison, Wisconsin, for what will probably end up being a five-year epic journey around the entire globe, until I finally pedal back to where I started.
I have refused to take airplanes, and indeed motorized vehicles of any kind, and am travelling slowly and deliberately, seeing the world at a natural pace.
I have pedalled over mountains and through blizzards. Rejecting the
oil-and-convenience culture of Western society, I embarked on a transAtlantic sailing voyage in April as part of the crew, finally landing in Cornwall after two months at sea.
I am now in the Republic of Ireland, cyclng through the worsening winter, on my way to see Northern Ireland en route to the Continent.
I am looking for someone that might be able to take me across the sea to Scotland, preferrably landing near or in Glasgow. I realize it's getting cold out there, but there must be some sailors that are as "crazy" as me.
If anyone is willing to sail with me, I would be very appreciative. Even if you could point me in the right direction to connect with someone.
Please let me know as soon as possible regarding this atypical request.
Thank you!!~
Charles Brigham
