Pacific Odyssey - Trans North Pacific Row

Not Enlightenment , but a sniff of the sub tropical high the dominant weather system in the western Pacific which will take us to America. We are not out of the woods yet unfortunately the high has moved unseasonably north so we have to move north to get onto the right side of the high to then move east. You will see from our XPlot that we are moving further in the day and slowing at night our time 10 hours + BST. This is due to us having to row into a headwind to get north which is abit like rowing in concrete and by the end of the day we are completely exhausted and sleep on the sea anchor during the night. As you can see I have mastered levitation and when not rowing generally float about the place. Tim makes various things for the boat as down time, he is at present making a chess set for us to while always the hours as we have read all the books on board twice over. Albert the albatross has returned from his travels and seems happy with our scraps, we are still visited by numerous turtles they seem fascinated by 'Crackers' and regularly give chase when we are rowing. The school of fish under the boat are still enjoying our company. Keep the messages coming dont be shy its great to hear from you, the messages get collected by our communications manager Al Keir and he forwards them on to us once a week, we really do look forward to them. Thank you to Frank Ferkin in Antigua pass on my regards to Ann and Gordon, Suzie Tonge, Gigsy Homme (you are), Ruth and Alan Leach and Lon Elledge from the Whale Boat racing association in San Fran we look forward to meeting you in a few months. Harvey we bow to your maritime knowledge and Tim is so impressed he wants you to join him for the Indian Ocean next year. Love to Mum and Dad, hope your birthday went well Mum. Love to Sian and Mark and my jewel in the West Country Ang. In general the weather is against us but it is due to change for the better in the next few days we are in good spirits and our thoughts are with you all.
