Spain 30,

Oct. 20, 2026,

Hi Everyone,

I am now at CDG waiting to board my Air Canada plane to Montreal. This gives me a few moments to reflect upon my voyage. I was able to complete all of my goals, triathlon in Pontevedra, 10 day motorcycle trip in Spain and visit briefly with my friends in Italy, Reims, Normandy and Paris.

As far as my plans for this year, I will certainly work with the Canadian Ski Patrol and teach skiing with at least 1 or 2 ski trips out west. I will go to Israel in the spring although I am not sure of the volunteer work that I will do there. I will race my J24 in the spring and summer. I was just invited to be a member of the Canadian National Triathlon Team and most certain will participate in the World Championship Triathlon in Hamburg followed by a motorcycle trip in Tuscany eventually visiting my friends in France. I would like to do a trip to South East Asia, a part of the world that I have never visited, however this trip is still in the dreaming stage.

Personally I have 3 goals. I must promote my book, ‘Swords of Iron’. All profits will go towards the purchase of an ambulance for MDA. I must learn to navigate a sailboat. I can race the boat around the buoys but no very little about long distance travel. I also will study Hebrew in order to become fluent. This seems like a lot, however I have now been retired for 50 days and should have enough time to complete my goals.

Love,

Brian,
