Nicandri is an excellent speaker and is as deeply immersed in the expedition as anyone I know. This should be good!

"Metaphorically speaking, I came to appreciate the value of simply keeping the oar in the water. I imagine that this is something that Lewis and Clark imputed to the men with great regularity - it's a great life-lesson."
