After the wind died down, Sarah left Choshi Marina earlier today at 15.33pm (Japan time), 7.33am (UK time). Now clear of the marina she should be able to benefit from favourable winds and begin her solo row across the North Pacific.

Hi Dale, many thanks for the offer of a bed in Nova Scotia. Much appreciated!
Fantastic news – must be an amazing feeling to be out there on the ocean and under way!
Good luck Sarah. Hope all goes well for you.
Row, row, row Sarah! See you in Vancouver
Have a good one 🙂
Sarah — one of the great pleasures of following your adventure last year (before the typhoon) was being able to see your progress via the satellite tracker . I see that the satellite tracker page appears not to have been updated. I hope for your sake — and that of your devoted followers– that you have satellite tracking this go round. With best wishes and great admiration…
Hi Bob, the tracker is on board and will be up and running asap. Thanks for the support.
Go for it Sarah! I’m a rower and sea kayaker. Very impressed by what you’ve done so far, and even more so that you’re back finishing the mission. I’ll be following your process with fingers crossed for good conditions.
All the best from Switzerland

From one global adventurer to another, wishing you Bon Voyage and best of luck from Norman and everyone at the GyroxGoesGlobal.com team. May the wind always be in your face (well at least, while you are rowing….!) Cheers N.
Wow Sarah I missed your push off this weekend ‘cos I was cycling from London to the New Forest and around and about a bit. Saw you did a bit of the “usual” around and about a bit too – getting a feel for the water! Stop feeding the fish – didn’t you get the memo….pump those oars girl and less of the groaning over the side – big hugs and a huge sigh of admiration for an amazing SISTER.
Best wishes for a safe passage to Canada. GO HAPPY SOCKS !
Good heavens, Sarah, you left on my 65th birthday! We are both entering a new adventure! Hoping to see you when you go by Vancouver Island, BC. Wishing for calm seas and my the currents be with you!
We have just read your comments and can only imagine what it must be like; seems ages ago that Happy Socks was sitting in the snow on the school lawn! We are following you in class! Lots of luck, Ollie, Alex, Jamie, Theo, Izzy, Abbi, Kit, Seb, Liza, Olivia and Mrs Q! xxxxx
Way to go Sarah! We are following your progress! Good Luck!
