I Know, I Know...

Justine paddled around the south island of New Zealand, one of three women to do so a year ago, but so did Barry Shaw. And I know Justine is on an American tour to promote her new DVD which includes footage of the trip, but so is Barry.


What I bet you don't know is that Barry is much more famous. For example, towns around the world are rushing to change their names to include Barry somewhere, somehow... The above shows one such example, a town in Ontario. I expect to see New Barry or Ft LauderBarry, perhaps even LondonBarry and so on quite soon. And why not?

I've yet to visit a Justineville or Justine Bay, but maybe they're out there, waiting for me... and Barry. OK, Justine too.

    You may have to have your tongue surgically removed from your cheek :)

    Marie - you're welcome!

    Silbs - they're holding me down and doing the surgery now, a bit roughly if you ask me. I thought they were friends...

    ps and to get back to the relative fame of Barry & Justine - here's another case in point -

    That big ol' divers' bit of heaven down under - it's not the Great Justinier Reef, now is it?

    Bonnie - nope. I checked and it's still the Great Barry's Reef...

    And in Newfoundland, there's Adeytown - they spelled it wrong, of course - it's Adie, not Adey...
