Brian Terry grew up plying his family's fourth-generation oyster trade around Hog Island Bay, Virginia. Anything but easy work, he somehow managed to duck hunt, too, and that eventually lead to a related product development in response to his family's tough-love company hiring policy. Describing how and why his great-great-grandfather founded H.M. Terry Company, he gives us a salty crash course in clamming and oystering, explaining once and for all why you never, ever eat oysters in months ending with the letter R!     Related Links: H.M.

Author Michael Loynd has found narrative gold in his book, The Watermen: The Birth of American Swimming and One Young Man's Fight to Capture Olympic Gold. The narrative centers around Charles Daniels, USA Swimming's first gold medal winner at the Olympic Games. Charlies is a complicated athlete with a dysfunction upbringing. Once you dive into his journey you won't be able to put the book down. The historical context of the 1904 and 1908 Olympics and what swimming did for our nation will surprise you.

June 20, 2022 — The first annual urchinfest took place this weekend, with opportunities to learn about urchins and their environment, and to eat them raw on the beach at Van Damme State Park in Little River. A woman named Juanita described the flavor as “someone sweet and buttery. It just slides down really easily. Maybe it's a softer texture than raw fish, but I love it.” She had just sampled some of the red urchin uni harvested by Greg Fonts, a freediver and spear fisherman who was wearing a shirt that said “Meateater” as he cracked into the spiny creatures. About 120 people showed up on Saturday morning to watch the demonstration, hear about the urchin, and have a chance at a taste. Not that there's much to eat out of the spiny purple shell. A mysterious illness has killed off most of the sunflower sea stars, which were the urchins' main predator. The purple urchin have overpopulated and devoured the kelp, and now they hang out in a dormant malnourished state. Unlike the red urchin, the purple urchin have no marketable value. Joshua Russo is president of the Watermen's Alliance, a recreational divers association that's part of an effort to remove the urchins from some small areas. The idea is to create a few refugia for kelp so it can re-seed itself if ocean conditions start to balance out again. In 2019, the recreational limit for purple urchin was doubled from the previous year's limit, to forty gallons per diver in Mendocino, Sonoma, and Humboldt counties. And in Caspar Cove, there is no recreational limit and divers are allowed to crush the urchins in the water. “What we're doing is under a scientific collection permit,” Russo explained. “Part of the project is to see if divers will voluntarily report their activity. Reef Check (a non-profit that trains citizen scientists to collect data on California's kelp forest ecosystems) has a website set up where divers can report their activity. It basically asks how many you think you culled in a dive, how many people were with you, how many dives you made, were you scuba or free-diving…it's not a legal requirement, but we are hoping that everyone will report, because if people are doing it and not reporting, the department (California Department of Fish and Wildlife) will let the regulation expire. Part of the program is to see if people will voluntarily provide that information so we can use it to prove that what we're doing is effective and it doesn't harm anything.” The purple urchin has another missing predator, in addition to the sunflower sea star. The otter was hunted out of the area by fur trappers in the 19th century. Russo says there are several shortcomings to any plan to reintroduce the otter to clear out the purple urchin. “The problem with that is these urchin are void of much material, so even if they were full, there's a study that shows that otters are taught what to eat by their parents. So if you brought an otter up here that was not shown how to eat urchin, it wouldn't even see them as a food source. So you would have to bring the right otters up here, and very quickly, they would open up a few urchin and learn there was nothing in them, so very quickly, they would move right over to anything else. Abalone, crab, anything they could get their hands on.” Warm ocean conditions from 2014-2019 didn't help the kelp at all. In the past couple of years, the ocean has been cooling off a little, and the kelp is showing some signs of recovery, but Tristin McHugh, the kelp project director with the Nature Conservancy, says it's still historically low. There is some money available for studies like the one Russo is involved in. Starting in 2020, Reef Check received a half-million dollar grant from the Ocean Protection Council to work with the Department of Fish and Wildlife and a variety of non-profits and commercial fishermen to figure out how to reduce urchin to what McHugh calls, “this magical threshold value that would potentially facilitate kelp growth.” That is about two urchin of any species per square meter. The challenge, McHugh says, “is trying to understand what to do when red urchin are also grazers, but also have commercial uses, as opposed to the purple urchin at this point.” Commercial divers are effective at culling urchin, but unlikely to do so without grants or other economic incentives. “What other tools for restoration can we test on top of that?” McHugh asked. “So one thing we are starting here in 2022 is evaluating urchin traps at Noyo Harbor, with hand harvesting of urchin, and we're also looking at Albion, with Moss Landing Marine Labs, looking at out-planting kelp in addition to hand harvest.” There was a promising sighting of a sunflower sea star in Mendocino last year, but for now, the known remnant populations of the once-mighty predator are in British Columbia and Alaska. “Typically, sunflower stars are pretty amazing predators,” McHugh said. “We know that they eat young purple urchin, or sometimes even adult purple urchin. We also know they eat snails, sometimes other stars. I've seen them eat fish underwater, I've seen them eat anemones, oddly enough. Back when I first started diving, I remember seeing them just cruise on the bottom of the ocean so fast, just nailing everything in its way.” As for the cause of the disease that has devastated them, “That's still a mystery. We're working right now to figure out what that is. Because it's still in the system.”

On this week's PreserveCast, we're setting a course for the Chesapeake Bay with first-generation Maryland crabber Luke McFadden. Luke's story is anything but typical – from beginning crabbing at age 12 to developing a social media following to help build a brand – but his atypical approach to crabbing might just be what the industry needs at this challenging moment. We're talking with Luke about the beautiful swimmers, maintaining crab boats, and how his can-do approach may just help sustain Maryland's iconic watermen heritage.

A special interview coming your way today as we chat with American author and Olympic historian Michael Loynd about his latest book The Watermen and the incredible story of America's first ever Olympic swimming champion Charles Daniels. We find out from Michael just what brought about him taking on board this unique project and why Daniels isn't as well known as he should be. We also find out just why Daniels is such an important figure in not only US swimming but global swimming, and how without him we might not have swimming how it is today. Added to this we learn more about all the obstacles Daniels had to overcome and just what honour this book might lead to the legendary swimmer. It's one hell of an interview that you won't want to miss! So get to listening!

Andrea Conrad tells Nestor the family crab and seafood story and shares an Abingdon crab cake.

The Virginia Marine Resources Commission has been slowly moving fishermen, the oyster industry and now commercial crabbers to mandatory online reporting of their daily catch. But in rural Tidewater, where many go without good cell coverage or internet, that's a problem. Pamela D'Angelo reports.

In Chesapeake Bay in the late 19th century, oyster harvesting was a big business. There were so many oyster harvesters harvesting so many oysters that the legislatures of Maryland and Virginia had to start regulating who could harvest oysters and how they could do so. Creating the regulations was the easy part; enforcing them was much harder. The illegal harvesting of oysters by oyster pirates continued, even after the creation of the Maryland State Oyster Police Force in 1868 and a similar force in Virginia in 1884.  The first of the Oyster Wars was in Virginia in 1882 when Governor William E. Cameron himself joined the expedition to raid the pirates. The first raid was a success, but Cameron quickly learned that pirates wouldn't stay defeated for long, and the oyster wars continued. By the late 1880s the Oyster Wars turned deadly. The Oyster Wars remained an important part of Chesapeake Bay history all the way until the “official” end of the Oyster Wars in 1959, although even that may have not truly been the end. In this episode, Kelly briefly tells the story of the Oyster Wars and (with a little help from her son, Arthur, interviews Jamie Goodall, author of Pirates of the Chesapeake Bay: From the Colonial Era to the Oyster Wars.

Back in 2007, the number of blue crabs in the Chesapeake Bay plummeted to an all-time low, in part because of chronic over-harvesting. Watermen every year caught almost two thirds of all the crabs alive in the Bay. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Surfing wasn't always popular in Portugal. It's only in the last 35-40 years that it has been acknowledged as a sport. During this podcast, big wave surfer Hugo Vau talks with our host, Richard Wiese, about taking risks and pushing yourself to new extremes in exploration.  In 2006, surfers began exploring and surfing on bodyboards in the Nazare´ Canyon area of Portugal. This huge underwater valley creates gigantic waves away from shore and out in the ocean. Watermen started telling surfers stories about these big waves, and some couldn't resist the desire to see them.  There was one wave somebody told them was bigger than the rest. It was nicknamed “Big Mama.” She was 0.8 miles out in the ocean, and they used a jet ski to tow surfers out. In 2011, fellow surfer Garrett McNamara set a world record by surfing a 70-foot wave in Nazare´.  In his attempt to conquer Big Mama, Hugo studied forecasts and charts to calculate the best time to make his approach. They went out at around 4:30 in the afternoon. There were high wind warnings, but Hugo wanted strong winds. He planned to work with the wind instead of fighting against it.  When asked what it was like, Hugo says it was unique, really beautiful, a scenic array of colors. Although he has been surfing for a long time, he was overwhelmed with the intensity of nature and the ocean's hugeness.  You might be wondering how Hugo's life changed after conquering Big Mama. He wasn't really prepared for what happened after this worldwide event. He got huge media exposure and lots of interviews.  He's able to stay humble, telling us that this whole adventure is a testimony to the magic of teams – supporting and believing in each other… working together for the moment. His surfing partner and best friend, Alex Botelho, was there with him. Another team member, who served as the spotter and videographer, was stationed in a church onshore and nicknamed Jesus. Although you think that surfing might be a solitary sport, a team is necessary.  These days, Hugo appreciates the simple things. He remembers to celebrate them with others… the fact that we get to breathe everyday… we're able to walk and smile at each other. It sounds like Hugo Vau has things in proper perspective!  To learn more about explorer Hugo Vau and big wave surfing, check it out here. Hugo is featured in many videos and surf magazines as well. To hear about other explorers, join us for new episodes of Life's Tough: Explorers are TOUGHER! At https://www.lifestough.com/podcast/explorers/.  Richard Wiese, the host of this podcast, is an American explorer. He is the author of the guidebook, Born to Explore: How to Be a Backyard Adventurer. He became the youngest person to become president of the Explorers Club in 2002. Richard is also Executive Producer and Host of the PBS weekly television series Born to Explore with Richard Wiese. 

Meet Oyster Expert, Joni Carter Joni, an Irvington resident, is part of the “Virginia Oyster Country” team that works to spur tourism on the western shore of the Chesapeake, where the oyster industry is enjoying a resurgence. She helps lead the Virginia Oyster Academy experience for guests at the Tides Inn. Hear about the Watermen and just how amazing these salt-water bivalves are! Joni tells us how we can recycle Oyster shells; this is crucial to helping them continuing to grow in the wild- not just on farms.

Today's guest is one of the greatest "Watermen" the world has seen - Paul Blackbeard.Paul competes in masters pool swimming, open water racing, pool lifesaving and surf lifesaving.  He sails, he meditates, he holds world records, he swims the Rottnest Island swim each year, he holds Triple Springbok Colours and he has the title of being in the top 50 "Watermen" in the world .  Whats's a Waterman you may ask?  We discuss all of that and more. Zambian born, South African raised and now residing in Perth, Australia, we chat about Paul's lifelong relationship with the water.  As a South African National Champion many times over in the mid to late 70's, Paul would have definitely swum at the Olympics if not for the IOC boycott due to apartheid. How did he cope with that disappointment?  With positivity and new goals is how!Not many 63 year olds can still do 100x100's on a 1:30 time cycle and and still break a minute in a 100 freestyle race. What type of training does he do; how often does he train and why is he so successful? Paul is a leader in our masters swimming community, and even founded the South African Masters Swimming Association. We covered a lot of ground in this episode and there was so much more to discuss.  Part 2 may be on the cards!

Earl Swift is author of Chesapeake Requiem: A Year with the Watermen of Vanishing Tangier Island. In this episode Earl explains how the unique community in the Chesapeake Bay is struggling as the island disappears through a combination of erosion, subsidence, and rising seas from climate change. He talks about his time living on Tangier Island, the life of a watermen, and the iconic blue crab. Earl also discusses the reaction to his book and the difficult decisions around saving communities from climate change.

In this episode of Spearfactor, I sit down with legendary waterman and family man, Colin Smith. Colin is a former professional surfer from San Diego, California with deep family roots in the ocean. He began spearfishing at age 22 when a knee injury sidelined his surfing career. He quickly turned a negative into a positive, and began developing his diving skills until he both a world class diver and surfer. I was fortunate enough to sit down with Colin, and discuss his experiences both in and out of the water. We discuss everything from his early days of professional surfing and how he got started spearfishing to having a mindset to give you an edge in life through he and his wife, Kerry, Awakening Trainings. Checkout the training at https://theawakeningtrainings.com The podcast begins discussing the early years in 1990s, we he was just getting into spearfishing. We talk about diving throughout the West Coast including Baja and Southern California as well as spearfishing equipment and guns that we prefer. We also talk about why we spearfish and how the industry has changed over the years as well as the environment. During this time, we both have seen changes in our local spots, so we discuss possible causes and solutions to the problems. Colin shares some crazy stories from surfing and diving in Western Australia where he encounters lively wildlife including large Tiger sharks. I asked him what was his thought process while he was jumping in on bait balls and dropping in on dry reefs in remote parts of Australia. This led us to discussing the power of the right mindset when doing difficult things. Not having the right mindset can cause you to hesitant in difficult situations which can lead to even worse situations. Colin and Kerry, now specialize in providing specific training called Awakening Trainings, focused on unlocking your true potential making you more productive, confident and happy in all aspects of your life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j2nQjdoRiE&t=562s Follow Spearfactor: Instagram @the_spearfactor  Facebook Spearfactor Group, Youtube and Reddit.

Enslaved Virginians sought freedom from the time they were first brought to the Jamestown colony in 1619. Acts of self-emancipation were aided by Virginian’s waterways, which became part of the network of the Underground Railroad in the years before the Civil War. Watermen willing to help escaped slaves made eighteenth-century Norfolk a haven for freedom seekers. Famous nineteenth-century escapees like Shadrach Minkins and Henry “Box” Brown were helped by the Underground Railroad. Enslaved men like Henry Lewey, known as “Bluebeard,” aided freedom seekers as conductors, and black and white sympathizers acted as station masters. In this banner lecture on July 25, 2019, historian Cassandra Newby-Alexander narrates the ways that enslaved Virginians used Virginian’s waterways to achieve humanity’s dream of freedom. Cassandra L. Newby-Alexander serves as a professor of history and the director of the Joseph Jenkins Roberts Center for the African Diaspora at Norfolk State University. She has spearheaded the 1619 Making of America conference, which seeks to transform the narrative about the role of early Africans in the evolution of America. She is a member of the advisory committee for the VMHC’s exhibition, "Determined: The 400-Year Struggle for Black Equality" and is the author of several books, including "An African American History of the Civil War in Hampton Roads"; "Voices from within the Veil: African Americans and the Experience of Democracy"; and, most recently, "Virginia Waterways and the Underground Railroad."

The Blackwell Brotherhood is a clan of four teenaged surfing brothers from the Central Coast of California. About 10 years ago their adventurous parents started building a home in San Jose Del Cabo at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula. The decade long project is finally near completion and the “Brotherhood" has just returned from a 3 week Baja trip that included some manual labor, a little film making and lots of surfing and tacos.

Florrie Evans has been Director at The Weiss Gallery since 2010. The Weiss Gallery was established in 1985 at 59 Jermyn St, the heart of the prestigious St James district of London, and is a leading dealer in Tudor, Stuart, and Northern European portraiture and has made several notable sales over the last three decades which now grace distinguished public and private painting collections around the world. Prior to this, Florrie worked at Christies specializing in Early British Picture and Old Masters and has also assisted curators at Tate Britain and Dr Johnson’s House Museum. In addition to contributing to various art publications, she also appeared as an expert on portraiture for the BBC’s Stitch in Time Series. Her other love is Mudlarking on the Thames—a hobby she’s kept since the age of 4. Florrie describes the river as her ‘pleasure and obsession’ and now has the delight of taking her young daughter with her as she uncovers London’s washed up secrets. Step inside this beautiful gallery with me as Florrie’s reveals why art, London, and the Thames all play a major part in her fascinating life. This is Your London Legacy. “I definitely grew up with an appreciation for scavenging and salvaging—and from that came a love of history as well.” [5:55] I met with Florrie at the Weiss Gallery—a beautiful space showcasing 16th and 17th century Northern European portraiture. In the back is another gallery with all the English works displayed before a pale green silk and above it all is a striking glass ceiling to bathe the portraits in light. Florrie’s love for art and history started from a young age as she was taken Mudlarking with her parents. On top of finding artifacts in the river and imagining how they got there, Florrie’s father was a publisher and her mother a pianist—and exploring artistic sensibilities was clearly a part of her upbringing. [13:40] Florrie finds portraiture one of the most fascinating art forms to analyze and study. You can take into account what the person commissioning the portrait wanted—juxtaposed with the artists intent. She thinks that often this was a collaboration of the subject and artist, and the intent and purpose of the painting changed some throughout the centuries as well. “I look at it as an emotional headspace in a way—just connecting with the city in such a unique way. Hearing the sound of the water. I find it incredibly meditative.” [21:15] You have to keep in mind that there weren’t as many bridges across the river in earlier centuries. Watermen would take people back and forth at ferry crossing points across the river, and of course, people dropped things over the edges. Everything from tobacco pipes (which can be dated in part by how large the bowl is), a mysterious amount of garnets, relics from Roman times (which Florrie was obsessed with for a time), and buttons and beads—something Florrie feels drawn to given her love of clothing and fashion and costume. Make sure you go stop by the Weiss Gallery, and Florrie will be curating a large exhibition at Totally Thames where you can see things collected from a wide variety of Mudlarkers at the end of September.   Links @flo_finds (https://www.instagram.com/flo_finds/) Weissgallery.com (https://www.weissgallery.com/) Totally Thames (https://totallythames.org/) Support this podcast

Dan and Joe discuss "The Last of the Watermen" Episode 7 of Season 3 of Homicide: Life on the Street.

Scientists believe Tangier Island, in the Virginia waters of the Chesapeake Bay, could vanish within the next 25 years. Two-thirds of Tangier's land mass has disappeared since the time of the Civil War, and in recent years sea-level rise caused by global warming took more acres from the island. Fewer than 500 people remain there. Many of them voted for Donald J. Trump, share his rejection of climate change as the reason for their existential challenge and insist that a seawall around the island would save it from further ----wave erosion.---- The deeply religious islanders have frequently been in the media spotlight, often the subject of derision and ridicule for their climate change denials and support of Trump. Journalist and author Earl Swift spent more than a year on Tangier, learning about the island way of life and the work of the watermen who've harvested blue crabs and oysters for generations. Swift has written an elegiac book about the place and the people who could well become the Chesapeake's first climate change refugees. The book is, ----Chesapeake Requiem: A Year with the Watermen of Vanishing Tangier Island,---- published by Harper Collins.In this episode: A talk with Swift following his appearance at the 2018 Baltimore Book Festival; excerpts of a CBS News report, a Stephen Colbert monologue and ----Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.----

Tangier Island, Virginia, has been home for eight generations to a unique community of now some 470 hardy souls, many of whom make their living harvesting the region’s prized blue crab. But their island home -- a barely 2-acre sliver of mud and sand and grass in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay -- is fast disappearing beneath the waters. Whether the culprit is erosion by the Bay’s relentless currents, as most Islanders believe, or the rising sea levels scientists say have been triggered by global climate change, the outlook for Tangier Island and its people is bleak. Today, Midday senior producer and guest host Rob Sivak spends the hour with Virginia-based writer Earl Swift, a long-time reporter at the Virginia-Pilot who has spent more than 30 years writing about the Chesapeake region, and who has circumnavigated the Bay in his kayak. The Chesapeake is the setting of Swift's newest book -- his seventh -- which chronicles the daily lives and hopes of the Tangier Islanders, against a backdrop of environmental and political forces that seem beyond their control. The book is called Chesapeake Requiem: A Year with the Watermen of Vanishing Tangier Island, published by Dey Street Books (an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers).

On this episode, we’re rebroadcasting an interview Matt Tullis did with Earl Swift in November 2014. At the time, Swift’s book “Auto Biography: A Classic Car, An Outlaw Motorhead, and 57 Years of the American Dream” had just been published. Swift has a new book out now. “Chesapeake Requiem: A Year With the Watermen of Vanishing Tangier Island” was published by Harper Collins, and is getting rave reviews. Auto Biography is also a fantastic book. It tells the life story of a 1957 Chevy that, at the beginning of the book, is falling apart. He also delves deep into the life of the current owner, Tommy Arney. Arney had a brutal childhood. He dropped out of school in the fifth-grade, and lived a life of crime. But had also become a somewhat successful and controversial businessman. The story of this car started as a five-part series for the Virginian-Pilot, where Swift had been a reporter for many years. In this interview, he talked about the differences between reporting for newspaper work and reporting for a book project. Swift is a former Fulbright fellow in New Zealand, and is currently a residential fellow of the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

Jonathan Freedland compares the plight of black cab drivers with the fate of London's watermen. For centuries watermen had a monopoly on Thames river crossings until advances in new technology allowed for bridges to be built across the river in the mid 18th Century. The men who ferried passengers on the Thames lost their jobs and livelihood. Today, technology threatens the modern day taxi business with the rise of smartphone app Uber and the dawn of the driverless car. As automation and artificial intelligence technologies improve, Jonathan Freedland and panellists explore what history can tell us about how workers might fare today. Producer: Sarah Shebbeare.

Host Scott MacMullan interviews Vince Leggett this week on the podcast. Vince is the founder of the Blacks of the Chesapeake Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving black maritime history and environmental advocacy. Vince's childhood was a unique mix of being "straight-out-of-east baltimore" to enjoying hunting trips to the eastern shore of Maryland with his father and brothers on weekends. These weekend trips to the Eastern Shore piqued his passion for the Chesapeake Bay. Over a 20 year period, Vince has collected a warehouse full of history on black watermen. He talks about the "contested space" that is the Chesapeake Bay. In 2003, Vince was bestowed the honor of "The Admiral of the Chesapeake" by the Governor of Maryland. This is the highest honor a Governor of Maryland can bestow on a private citizen in the environmental field. This year Captain Eldridge Meredith, a 92 year old black watermen on the Eastern Shore, has been named "The Admiral of the Chesapeake." Vince goes into the characters he has met through out his investigations and research into black watermen. He talks about his book, "The Chesapeake Bay Through Ebony Eyes." We talk about the differences and similarities between black watermen and white watermen. Vince is a brilliant man, diligent researcher and true asset to the Annapolis community.

This week's guest on The Annapolis Podcast is Jay Fleming. Jay has spent the past three years actively documenting all aspects of the fascinating and rapidly changing way of life of those who make their living from the resources of the Chesapeake Bay. He has travelled thousands of miles around the Bay's watershed, photographed hundreds of individuals, and dozens of fisheries: with the goal of documenting all aspects of the industry. From underwater shots of watermen diving for oysters, to crabs shedding their shells, to incredibly poignant portraits of workers in packing houses, Jay will illustrate the full spectrum of the industry in his first book, Working the Water. Fleming hopes that his documentation will accurately depict the different businesses that depend on the water as well as portray the cultures on and around the water.  Please listen, share and subscribe to the podcast. Next week's guest is former Mayor Cohen. He answers the question what he would have done differently in his last mayoral election.   www.jayflemingphotography.com www.macmullanlaw.com

The 9th program in the ORIGINS series is about sustainable seafood. With the Chesapeake Bay at our doorstep, it is important to note that the Chesapeake Bay provides 50 percent of the total blue crab harvest in the United States. Each year, the Maryland seafood industry contributes some $600 million to the State's economy. Besides blue crabs, the Chesapeake Bay is a source for striped bass, oysters,soft clams, flounder, perch, spot, croaker, catfish, sea trout, and bluefish. Our distinguished panel features Tj Tate, the Director of Seafood Sustainability at the National Aquarium, Lee Duncan Carrion, co-owner with her husband, Captain Richard Young of Coveside Crabs and Tony Conrad, waterman and owner of Conrad’s Crabs and Seafood Market.

“I totally know [my success] is becuase of the privilege I had growing up in Makaha,” says Duane DeSoto, a world class waterman and world longboard champion who shares the experiences that have made him the man he is today: a committed father, community leader, lifelong learner and friend of the ocean. Duane's familial and personal legacy is also a core element of the discussion and we dive into the vision and mission of Nā Kama Kai (http://nakamakai.org) his non-profit that seeks to build community capacity through ocean education. Duane also shares his thoughts on his recent experience sailing aboard the Hōkūleʻa(http://www.hokulea.com), the traditional double hulled voyaging canoe or waʻa that is circumnavigating the globe through 2017.
