Today is such an exciting day on record as I have now reached 40 days of solo sailing. The last ships I saw were two container ships passing below Australia 10 nm south of Albany on day one. It has now been 40 days since I have seen another vessel, land, or signs of human life out here. I have to say, some days I feel…….

Well it seems to be another all-nighter tonight for me. In last night’s storm the winds ended up peaking at 50 knots and the swell continued to bash poor Climate Action Now until around 5 am where the winds started to abate. I was just drifting sideways and feeling frustrated as I wasn't too sure how much ground I was losing to Fedor at that moment…….

We were airborne and I was mid-flight in the navigation station, and I knew in my mind that this wave was different. It just felt so much larger and more powerful than the others. We landed with a jarring impact and instead of rolling over or under us the wall of white water from the broken wave just continued………………..

Oh what a long 24 hours I have had…… buckle up because it’s a long one. Last night the winds were so frustrating as they were mostly from the NNE, so I was sailing close hauled. This means that the sails are winched on tight, and we get heeled over at a sharp 45 degrees, so life is instantly more difficult. I knew that this storm was arriving tonight…………..

Well today, I once again woke feeling zombified after another night of bad sleep. I had a full day ahead of me so as much as I wanted to sleep it wasn't an option. The winds had now shifted from the SW to the NW and were slowly creeping around to the NNE and I needed to adjust my sails to suit. This meant that instead of me sailing with the wind and……

Well today I have been a very busy little bee, getting loads of jobs done around the boat. I ended up shaking out to the first reef in the mainsail just before I went to bed, and I unfurled the No 2 Headsail on the bow as the winds had eased right off to 22 knots and I hadn't seen anything over 25 knots in a while. I finally got……

Well conditions remained much the same as what you saw in yesterday’s video for most of the night. The winds were up at 30-35 knots from the SW and the seas at 5 meters, so knockdowns were still a regular occurrence. Most of them were not as big as…………

Just 10 minutes later and I was in the navigation station reading my book and waiting for the time to go and change over the micro plastic samples, I felt another knockdown occurring. You can feel the wave come underneath the hull and pivot us…………

I was going to try to get back to bed again before midnight but tonight was going to be another milestone in the trip. I was going to be sailing past Point Nemo, also known as the Pole of Inaccessibility. It is the loneliest place on our planet. It is a virtual waypoint in the ocean that is……….

Well, we have been rocking and rolling all morning in this swell with several knock downs. I was sitting in the galley watching it all on the CCTV cameras and it makes for some remarkable footage, I just need a minute to edit some……..
