I’m in the Bay of Fundy – more of that later….

Meanwhile my good friend, the slightly nutty and totally inspirational Sarah Outen is nearing landfall after her row of the North Pacific Ocean. If you’ve been following her, you’ll know that she was aiming to row from Japan to Vancouver, but after 4 months at sea she wasn’t even half way, due to a predominance of unusual Easterly and Southerly winds blowing her backwards and north.

I’d been teasing her to change her plan and head north to the beautiful wild Aleutian Island chain. “Off you go”, I said, “I’ll meet you there with Nelson, your kayak and we can paddle along the Aleutian islands to Alaska”. That’s a trip I’d love to do so I was delighted a month ago when I had a phone call from the middle of the Pacific ocean and Sarah’s chirpy voice said ‘Will you kayak from the Aleutian island chain to the mainland with me next Spring?”

So the short story is that that’s our plan. Sarah is hoping to land on Adak island, about 50 miles to the NE of her position now – probably Monday afternoon her time. You can follow her progress here – her little blue dot is updated every 6 hours. And wish her luck for a safe landing – I know I am.
