Jason Caldwell, Angus Collins, Duncan Roy and Jordan Shuttleworth of Lat 35 arrived in Honolulu Wednesday after setting sail from San Francisco on May 31.

Caldwell, the team’s captain, told CNN subsidiary KITV that members can begin the journey by taking turns rowing.

“To keep the boat moving 24 hours a day, row for two hours, two hours, 24 hours a day throughout the crossing, so that you as an individual are responsible for rowing 12 hours a day.” he said.

“There was something special about this boat and I will spend the rest of my life not describing it to others,” Caldwell wrote on Instagram. However, the race took its toll. The team was weighed before and after the race. And although the team was consuming 5,000 calories a day, the team lost a combined 76.3 pounds, or 34.6 kilograms, according to a Facebook post from the race.

KITV reported that the team planned to spend several days on the islands before returning home.

This series of three articles is dedicated to my mother Wilma Doreen (nee Clement) Hayes, who was rightly proud of her Okanagan

Pioneer roots. Mom took a special interest in the life of her maternal grandmother, Lucy (nee Freeman) Whelan (1852-1911).

On page 54 of The 20th Report of the Okanagan Historical Society (1956), Nellie Florence Bell (nee Whelan) briefly recounted the details of her mother’s epic journey from England to British Columbia:

“In 1882 my father (George Whelan) decided to get married and sent his fiancée, Miss Lucy Freeman, to England to come and see him (in Ellison, BC). She sailed from Liverpool via Cape Horn to Victoria. From there she took the boat to Yale, then the stagecoach to Cache Creek. Here she switched to the Kamloops stage, which took her to the Spallumcheen Valley, where she stayed at the Fulton Farm. My father met them and they were married by the justice of the peace …

Aunt Nellie provided an overview of the journey her mother (my great-grandmother), Lucy Freeman, made in 1882 from her relatively comfortable home in southern England to the wilderness of the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. Nellie’s description is the “naked” version of her mother’s trip; It is time to “complete” the story.

Lucy Freeman was born on January 2, 1852 (some records show her date of birth as January 1) in Great Chesterford, Essex, England, the second of 10 children – only four of whom reached adulthood – to chimney sweep Samuel Freeman (1825) -1904) and Lydia Purkiss (1827-1867).

When Lucy was born, Great Chesterford was an old village and

former market town, had about 1,000 inhabitants.

Lucy was 15 years old when her mother died of tuberculosis. The following year, 1868, Samuel Freeman married Sarah Bird (1840-1905) and they had seven other children. Lucy and her stepmother and her younger half-siblings, who were born between 1869 and 1885, were not close, their youngest half-sister (Edith) was born three years after Lucy left England.

Lucy left home in 1866 when she was 14 and found work as a domestic servant with local families and later in a London residence where she worked as a cook. She learned this craft well and passed her cooking and baking skills on to her daughters Nellie, Margaret, Laura and Minnie.

Lucy met Florence “Nellie” Whelan (1861-1905) while working “on duty”. Nellie told Lucy about her older unmarried brother, George Whelan (1844-1927), a rancher and farmer in the distant Okanagan Valley. Lucy and George began to correspond. He then mailed her a proposal and asked Lucy to come to British Columbia to be his wife.

A year before Lucy Freeman came to Canada, she was erroneously listed in the 1881 English Census (Barnet, Hertfordshire) as “Sarah Freeman,” general domestic servant to George Whelan’s widowed mother Sarah, his younger sister Mary Ann and her husband John D. visited .Patch.

In the spring of 1882, Lucy Freeman – 30 years old, unmarried and with few reasons to stay in England – accepted George Whelan’s proposal, boarded a steamer in Liverpool and embarked on the long voyage to her new home in western Canada.

Little is known about Lucy’s sea

Travel. Extensive research did not reveal the name of the steamer on which she sailed. The journey from England to western North America usually took about four months, so Lucy probably said goodbye to her family in May 1882, having settled in the Okanagan in late September.

Lucy traveled on the tween deck – cramped common areas below deck – where the passengers lived, prepared their food, and ate and slept. As a single woman, Lucy did better than many of her fellow travelers because she had more space and privacy. The Victorian customs of female decency certainly benefited Lucy on her four-month voyage at sea.

A story passed down through the Whelan family says that Lucy’s father warned them not to speak to anyone on board the ship except the one

Captain. If Lucy took her father’s advice, it must have been a lonely one

traveling, spending her days alone on the tween deck, or walking on deck wondering what lies ahead of her in British Columbia.

The ocean liner made its way west across the Atlantic and south to the tip of South America, where it circled the Cape of Good Hope, left the stormy Atlantic behind and entered the calmer Pacific. Lucy and the ship of her fellow travelers then followed the west coast of South America, possibly stopping in Valparaiso, Chile, to pick up coal for the final leg of the voyage.

Further north, the steamer reached San Francisco, where many of the passengers disembarked and the rest stayed on board for their ship’s final destination, Victoria.

The 1881 Canadian census recorded Victoria’s population of 7,295. Lucy arrived in mid-September 1882 after a month-long sea voyage.

Victoria was and is very British in her looks and feel, so Lucy may have felt more comfortable regaining her country legs in a more “familiar” setting.

Lucy’s long journey continues in next week’s article as she takes a boat to mainland British Columbia and travels up the dangerous Fraser Canyon stretch of Cariboo Road. In Cache Creek, she makes her way to North Okanagan, where she meets her fiancé, the rancher George Whelan.

Following the 2021 Mover Report, Zillow launched the new To Move Is To Grow digital advertising campaign highlighting the emotional journeys of a homeowner weighing the risks of selling and a little girl moving into a new home . The ads will air on Wednesday with prime time placements on NBC as well as spots on HGTV, ESPN, Hulu, YouTube and Facebook.

“Moving is by nature about moving forward – letting go of the past and embracing the next chapter of life,” said Aimee Johnson, Zillow’s chief marketing officer, in a prepared statement. “Our research shows that more than 75 percent of recent moving companies have been held back by emotional factors such as fear of change. However, 80 percent of them said their recent move paid off.”

The first ad, “Susans,” shows the inner hopes and doubts of Susan, a homeowner who is considering putting her home on the market. Susan introduces herself as the CEO, who leads a board meeting with a number of other Susans who all represent their feelings for the sale.

Negative Susan immediately examines the idea while Spontaneous Susan starts ordering curtains for the new home. Antisocial Susan is cautious when it comes to meeting new neighbors, and Lazy Susan would rather sleep. Eventually, Helpful Susan steps in and convinces CEO Susan to begin her home selling and buying journey with Zillow.

The next ad, The Journey, takes inspiration from Where the Wild Things and tells the story of a little girl who sees her moving experience as a mystical story full of mystery and danger.

After sailing away from her old home, crossing mountains and walking mist-filled streets, she settles in a dark cave and says resignedly, “I think that’s it.” But when she is awakened by a friendly greeting from a new neighbor the cave turns into her actual new bedroom when she finally feels at home.

The ads were shot in New York City and Prague, respectively, with director Jim Jenkins leading the New York team and director Martin De Thurah leading the Prague team. Johnson said both ads were filmed under strict COVID-19 guidelines, with agency and client teams monitoring the process remotely from London, New York, San Francisco and Seattle.

“While it is sometimes difficult to change a life, [moving] can bring tremendous hope, opportunity, and excitement, ”added Johnson. “Zillow has the services and expertise to guide every step of the process. This can make these big decisions easier and give people more confidence to move forward.”
