I think to help commemorate this grand race, Pearl Jam needs to do a concert where the race began. Here in good ol' Halifax. Do it for the turtles Pearl Jam..CMON! ;-)
"Billy seems to have gotten stuck. His pause is allowing Backspacer to pass him. Seabiscuit seems to be following the path taken by Nueva Esperanza and Wawa Bear toward South America. Cali seems to have taken a turn to the west. Did he hit a strong current that’s blown him off course? Is he trying a different path?"
Is that actually Backspacer??? Or just a random photo of a turtle?
Also, how awesome is it that Backspacer is left flippered for guitar playing?

Day 8:
"Backspacer is edging closer to the finish line, but will she cross? It appears that Billy hasn’t moved over the last two days, but we now know why: His transmitter stopped sending signals, so we can’t track him right now. Wawa Bear did a loop, and Seabiscuit looks like he might try one too. They’re in the North Equatorial Current now, which is likely like a snack bar for leatherbacks."
So I walk into my break room this morning, and a familiar voice is on MSNBC - Stone! He was talking about this race and PJs involvement, but their last question really rang - one of the panelists asked when the new album will be released. Stone said it looks like September, they're closing in on finishing it now.

Looking at the stats about cold water and long dives, it appears Backspacer is a total pussy.
115 bucks for half a haircut by a novice? I want my money back!

Day 9:
"Backspacer is very close to the finish line but won’t cross. She just can’t seem to make up her mind about entering the Caribbean. Will her dilly-dallying cost her the race? Several turtles, including Lindblad, Nightswimmer, Estéban, Seabiscuit, and Nueva Esperanza, are spinning around just north of South America. Grembo Jones and Searcher are still off on their own, and Cali definitely seems to be heading away from the Caribbean and back toward New England and Nova Scotia."
Ahh Backspacer won't cross the line! For a minute, I thought Billy was going to win... I think it's going to be either one of them, but of course I'm rooting for Backspacer!
Cross the line, Backspacer!!!
Can't wait to find out on Monday where she is... hopefully finally crossing the line!
JA: Why do I get the Ticketmaster question?
EV: It's your band.

She poked her nose a couple of times on it! Seems that the dotted line on the map is a real physical boundary for her!!!!!

See Stone scuba-diving in photos on right side...oh you all knew I didn't know my right from my left. Photos are on the left side. :oops:
either way, good stuff!
someone apparently needs to nudge backspacer to cross the finish line.
perhaps stone needs to don the wetsuit again?
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
