Nomaddica Pre-Pre-Alpha

admin — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 08:05:14 +0000

We’re putting Nomaddica live TODAY, in order to help Roz Savage fundraise for her EPIC Indian ocean row, that starts in just FIVE DAYS.

If you don’t know who Roz Savage is, perhaps go check her website out here. We’ve been supporting Roz through building and managing her website since the beginning of 2010. We rapidly built and deployed Nomaddica after discussing the idea with her quite randomly, over a drink at Melbourne’s basement bar E55 on Elizabeth St, in early March of 2011. You can view & donate to Roz’s project by viewing here Nomaddica project page.

Roz, we hope this helps you raise some much needed funds for your trip & fair winds; Or rather following currents?

Firstly, congratulations to Adam Correa on his completion of the 2010 Singlehanded Transpac race to Hawaii, aboard his sweet little folkboat ‘Blue Moon’! We helped Adam out with his web presence and a little with his tracking technology. Nice work Adam!

We’re also excited to announce that we’re currently in the process of working with British ocean rower Roz Savage, in refreshing her internet presence. As well as a web refresher, we’re also working to assist with some technology solutions for her 2011 Indian ocean crossing, so she can keep the world updated from the high seas of her progress, thoughts, and environmental campaign. Thanks Roz for letting us help you – More when the site goes live!
