In which an albatross comes to say hello. Laysan or short footed?

Things that go bump in the night... A beautiful flying fish.

The biggest surprise ever this morning when I was woken up by this grunting and honking outside my cabin! Poor wee thing - he must be lost. Does anyone know what he is? I reckon some sort of sealion because he has such distinct ears and forward feet.

Rowing time is poetry time... I love learning poems at sea.

Deliciously fab @lwwf_official meal to celebrate , with a splash of gin!

Current crossroads.... The aim is to get up to the N fork and avoid the SSE pull. Not going to be easy!

Cabin time on the sea anchor - my bunk is as long as I am tall and shoulder width i.e cosy

Rowing with a nice breeze a few days ago

Happy Socks for Happy Socks - thank you Mum!

Smiley happy rower

Adventure cut: And this is with ten days` growth. What will it look like when I land in Canada? #sixmonthsatsea

Involved in a sea rescue today: Lots of starfish washed up onto the seawall. I popped them back. Some fab colours.

Happy shoes and Happy Socks. @KEEN

She floats! Great to introduce Happy Socks to the Pacific this afternoon and run the watermaker. All systems go.

Thank you @gillmarine for all your gear. Looking forward to using it across the Pacific. Keeping us warm today!

Chilly fingers today as we finished off the logos. Happy Socks now looking super smart. #accenture

Today was about the logos and graphics. Favourite moment: putting her name on - both in English and Japanese

@seatosummitgear @burtonmccall A rather special cargo in this dry bag as I prep for six months alone at sea!
