A picture of Liam's boat "Biscuit" with all the essential equipment for this remarkable voyage, made even more so with all the gear load towards the bow on a boat that has a tendency to nose dive.

Keep going Liam

Sir Francis Drake...…. Martin Frobisher...… John Cabot...… Lord Anson...… RF Scott...… Ernest Shackleton...… Liam Thom!

Just crossed the Humber. Getting very close to Sprint 15 country. Would be really good if some of you could come out and wave at me. Or even do a day sailing with me.

Some of us are at Marconi for the rest of this week (with the exception of Saturday where ironically we are in Cowes watching Sail GP). So we are monitoring your progress closely and will see if we can come and say hello on the water or help you out of an evening.

Will he be stopping-off at Harwich?

He is on his way home. about 180 nm to go I think.

Will he make the Nationals? At least he will be well practised

Liam about to set off at 7.30 this morning on the last leg from Littlehampton to Shanklin

Well done Liam for circumnavigating the north island. A truly epic voyage!

For those not on twitter, Liam completed his trip around the combined North and South Islands today. Appears to be writing gibberish (to me at least, see below), needs a bit of a haircut and probably needs to gain some weight - so clearly everything is normal and therefore fine.

A truly epic achievement.

Final log: 2248.67nm.
2587.723 miles.
2.784 × 10^-5 astronomical units.
1.35 × 10^-10 parsecs.

Epic Liam,

Congratulations on completing your awesome trip.


Steve (and all at SSC)
