Sarah was probably just as fed up as we were to be seeing her progress affected by the Leeuwin Current. She spent all day being dragged South. Not fun. So she decided to change tactics and pulled up her sea anchor. The instant she did this her course changed and she progressed west and even northwest a bit. Zoom into the tracker and have a look at that. I think she probably started rowing again too as she has achieved a really good night in terms of progress. It is fascinating to notice just how affected she has been by the current. Have a look at the image that shows the Leeuwin Current with her course overlayed on top.
She should have a good day today, managing 30 miles or so and making good progress in the right direction.
30 miles is awesome progress. I would be happy with that! Well done, Sarah – you go, girl!
Meanwhile, great job Ricardo, for keeping us updated. We are watching Sarah’s track and keeping all appendages crossed for continued good progress.
Sarah!
You are doing amazing progress – alone, rough sea around you!
Good night wishes from Helsinki, Finland

Out on the vast ocean she’s striving
Toward Madagascar she’s driving
Although feeding the fish
Not exactly her wish
When sea-sick is gone she’ll be thriving.
(Yes, I know its Mauritius, but Madagascar sounds better)
HI sarah,you are going well, considering what you have had the currents,
the wind and you having a spell of seasickness , but tracker tells me that you are heading in the right direction you had me wondering for a while if you had decided to go via the south pole ( only joking ha ha )good luck keep yourself safe, as only you know how,
also thanks to Ricardo for the info that you are giving us along the way, and the encouragement you are giving to sarah,row,row girl.

Dear Sarah
You are the bravest girl,we support you,good luck to you!
I’m getting woozy just thinking about those waves so can totally understand the seasickness – groan, you are so brave. We’re all thinking of you here in the AC office, wishing good weather vibes your way – from now on it will all be plain sailing(rowing)! x
Dear Sarah,
We just thought we would write you a quick message to wish you luck with your inspiring, astounding journey!
Also we wanted to say that it was great to have you with us on our gold expeditions, which seem to be fairly ‘microscopic fry’ by comparison with this journey! We just hope it goes really really well, and safely!!! It is, and it will be an amazing achievement/memory!!!
We are very impressed by your inspiring example!!!And we hope you smash the records that you are aiming to break, but above all we hope that you have an amazing voyage!
GOOD LUCK & GOD’S SPEED!

Good on you girl a girl after my own heart wishing you well and following you all the way, Good luck
So proud of you Sarah – of who you are and all that you do. Wishing you calm waters and gentle winds all the way…
Phoenix, Arizona. Keep it up, your dad would have had a hard time, so face your challenges with him in mind. Keep going, and going and going, of course you will do it. You have a cause to champion!
