Boston. Around the World voyage complete. Planes, trains, automobiles and tall ships. I’m the luckiest boy in the World.
Delayed in port in Rarotonga. Supposed to leave today at 2pm but held by weather and late cargo.
Setting sail first thing in the morning for Atiu, Manihiki, Perhyn, then Rakahanga.

Alive. Love my crew-mates and the ship is amazing.
Leaving port in 2 days. We’re the first sailing vessel of the 21st century to carry cargo or passengers. See you all in a month!
Safely arrived in Rarotonga and paying 10 dollars for an hour of Internet! There is a big giant satellite dish pulling down web traffic onto the island.
Working on this ship is hard as hell and i think everyone is loving it.
Ship’s clinic has been busy!
Will try to upload a few images next time I have access.

After a long night of stress, the Australian government fixed my visa and I’ll be on my way shortly. Little sleep, but making up for it with lunch at one of my favorite UK restaurants, Pret a Manger.

Sushi Night
May 14, 2013
Bo'an District, Shenzhen China.
Maryclaire, Thomas and I had lots of sushi last night with our host Rainbow. My first time having sushi!
Anyway, we had a long hot hallucinatory night that has culminated with therapeutic vomiting that was so remarkably pleasant I have concerns for my future eating habits.
I can’t believe how happy I feel after puking.
We are strongly suspicious of the escargot we both dutifully consumed last night per host request. Maryclaire this morning noted that she finally identified the ‘strange texture’ as the snails head.
Generally fair warning you are going to get food poisoning at this sushi restaurant.
We did.
Boarding for London
When I am done will have gone full around the world by land sea and air.
Boston! That only took 10 years. Painless. Now off to London in less than 9 hours.
