Mike Horns Latitute 0° Circumnavigation Update

by Mike Horn 9 Mar 2000 12:11 GMT

Mike Horn has successfully traversed the Atlantic Ocean, the South American continent and has just completed the Pacific Ocean Crossing. Here is his last message after completing this stage:

    Dear all,

    I'm sorry I haven't written for a while. I'm still in Monada and if all goes as planned I hope to leave for the Equator tomorrow.

    It took me a little longer than expected to get my sail back. It's been repaired now so I feel better knowing that I have this to get me to Lat 0 and then Borneo. There has been some rather bad weather recently and I've had to work hard just to keep my boat moored in the one spot. I hope to check the hulls tomorrow before I set off again.

    In the meantime had some nice contacts with the local people and have enjoyed the Indonesian food. A new taste for me.

    I'm looking forward to reaching the Equator soon and to do the traverse of Celebes. Just hope the weather will aid me to make a quick safe trip back to Lat O°

    Otherwise, all's okay. Still thinking of you and am appreciating all the letters of encouragement I'm receiving from the Motor Show. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Regards to you all.

    Mike
