Sorry to see the adventure is ending. I have enjoyed you on the radiio for most if not all the past 18 years. I have called several times and you have given me great advice. Good luck in the future
Dear Keith
I read about your adventures in the yachting world magazine and think what you are doing is amazing.
I have an idea that may help you on your travels and give people following you a real time view of where you are in the world.
We at MarineTrack provide satellite tracking systems to the boating industry all over the world and we also have an interest in projects such as this which we are putting together for our newsletter.
My idea is that you fit one of our tracking units to your vessel so that people can “find their financial advisor” through your website on our web based interface, this may provide a more interactive experience for the people that you are trying to attract and this may also give the people that you have helped the opportunity to find the man that has dealt with their financial plans.
Please let me know your thoughts on my idea.
Hope to here from you soon.

Darryn,
Great idea. I wish we had visited six months ago. Within a few weeks, however, people will be able to “find the financial advisor” at home. Please see my August 26 dispatch.

Dear Keith, Good that you are coming home to be w/ your family. I will miss your programs, I loved to listen to you and hear about the countries you had been to. We have KYFI on just about 24/7. Thanks for the part of your life you did share w/ us. Mimi Williams-Specht from Gold Canyon, AZ
Understand and respect your decision to quit however as a consumer of your show I am disapointed to say the least.
Doug,
When I mentioned on today’s show that global warming might affect the low-lying Marshall Islands I never stated or implied that mankind was primarily or even substantially responsible for what seems from my perspective to be a natural global cycle that has occurred, I have repeatedly read, about every 500 years or so.
That is not to say that there are not large parts of this planet that mankind is really messing up — especially within emerging economies. Nor would I ever imply that we do not have a profound duty of stewardship over the resources God has given us.
But please see my April 10 article on the home page where I discussed the awesome power of nature as seen from a small boat in the middle of the Pacific, and how from there in particular it seems the height of human arrogance to assert that the forces we set in motion primarily impact the temperature on our planet.
I might add that, according to what I have often read, the last global warming cycle impacted Europe so beneficially that the benign weather conditions helped spawn what to this day we refer to as The Renaissance Period.
Since we are talking but a few degrees in any long-term weather cycle, regions will continue to experience occasional extreme temperatures away from the norm. The fact, as you assert, that we in the U.S. had our coldest winter in a long while does not indicate whether a broader warming trend is or is not occurring; and in fact there is substantial evidence that some modest levels of warming continue.
More than half of mankind lives within 200 miles of a large body of water. Therefore any rise in the ocean level — even by a few inches, will impact some low-lying areas. That doesn’t mean the sky is falling, as Chicken Little said. It just means that in over the long term Mother Nature, and not we, will decide just how close to the water we may live.
Greetings Keith,
I heard your show this Sunday and you said you were cutting back an hour. I can appreciate your decision; although, I always catch the three hours. I guess two hours is better than nothing.
I am becoming more active in researching trade contacts throughout the world, and your show has been an important learning tool in my goals. I just thought you should know that.
My question, when dealing with China, and importing from there most of the firms want TT type payments. Since I am over-hyper-sensitive to potential fraud; what advice would you suggest to make sure this will not happen?
Thanks again, and keep on doing what you do best.
Best Regards,
David McGee
