JAN 18 I SKIPPED A FEW DAYS OF E MAILING THANKS A MILLION FOR THE PARTY! CALLING TODAY REID
On 16 January, 2010, Reid Stowe achieved his goal of spending 1000 days at sea without touching land or taking on any supplies.
To celebrate, 2 back to back events took place. First was a 1,000th Day Announcement Event from 15:30 to 16:30 at the South Street Seaport Museum, Schermerhorn Row - 5th Floor Gallery. Almost 50 people attended including some press. Several folks spoke including Paul Sladkus (MC) and Soanya Ahmad. At about 4:15 pm, Reid called in via satellite telephone and spoke to the crowd and answered questions. It was an exciting moment. We could hear him better than he could hear us but we got our questions in.
At this time Reid has broken 4 records Longest non-stop solo – Reid Stowe – 694 days (Previous: Jon Sander – 657 days) Longest non-stop woman – Soanya Ahmad – 306 days (Previous: Kay Cottee – 189 days) Longest non-stop voyage – Reid Stowe – 1,000 days (Previous: Jon Sanders – 657 days) Longest non-stop by an American - (Previous: Dodge Morgan, 150 days)
Following was a 1,000th Day Party & Celebration from 17:00 to 20:00 at Ryan Maguire’s Ale House just 2 blocks from the Museum. There was plenty of food provided by Kadouri Foods and Ryan Maguire’s, and the band This Spy Surfs, led by Todd Colburn played all evening. Over 70 people attended and all had a great time.
The event was produced and promoted by Donna Stein with assistance from John Doswell (both venues plus sound at the Museum), Maggie Flanagan (Museum host), Joe Barello (satellite hookup to Reid), Jim Benedict (press kits), Paul Sladkus (MC and videographer), Todd Colburn (band), Ryan (the manager of Ryan Maguire’s), and, of course Soanya Ahmad, who wrote a great press release and provided a great accounting of the voyage. All in all, it was a memorable evening to celebrate a great accomplishment.
The next big event will be Reid’s return on 17 June 2010.
