15km in the N-hemisphere already, but still no sign of cold. It’s not even like being backed in an oven, more like being melted in a glass-works factory :)

EQUATOR!! Hi, N-hemisphere! Buy, D-hemisphere! It looks exactly the same in the dark. Time for bed :)

A couple of days ago, I was in an area with 1km depth. Suddenly, I noticed some kind of a mast sticking out from the horizon. At first, I thought it was a yacht or a navigation light pole on

Sometimes, during the night, the current can take you in the wrong direction. Sometimes it means rowing half-asleep. But under a full-moon like tonight, it is even enjoyable.

I have caught a wild-tempered current and clawed on it’s back with both of my oars. I’m enjoying the ride while we are heading the same direction.

After 3 days of whirlpool with frontal waves and occasional thunderstorms, the wind from the South is back to move the vast amount of water. It helps a lot. Thanks! I have sailed into Indonesian waters!

I’m approximately 40nm from the shore. Far enough, so I can peacefully sleep during the night, and close enough, so I can feast my eyes on the horizon during the day with a tasty mountain ridge curling along the shore

The rain is pouring down and something is pushing me back towards Madang. I hope this will not last long, because this is a good week in general. I set a new distance record - 61nm/24h, met 2 fishermen boats

I’m on the anchor, because I was being pushed back regardless of rowing. I’m waiting for the wind or tide to change.
