Half way! Hooray!
Jan 25, 2007
After all the years of planning and preparation, he’s finally out there — literally in the middle of the Tasman now! He’ll paddle past that flashing neon half way banner early tomorrow morning, so I reckon he’s feeling pretty happy with himself.
It’s been two weeks since Andrew had his last glimpse of land, and another two before he’ll set eyes on it again. And what a glorious sight that will be!
See the blue thing around Andrew’s neck? He claims this to be the most valuable piece of equipment he has on board. It’s a home-made ‘cockpit change bag’ (maybe we should patent it!) It’s like a giant, spacious spray skirt that comes up to the neck.This allows him to perform delicate tasks (some requiring a large cut-off soft drink bottle) in the upright position without the cockpit being flooded by waves over the deck.
Andrew made close to 70km again today, with a 25knot following breeze. He had some fast downwind runs in squally conditions this afternoon.
