Kennedy Warne highlights the efforts of a young Australian attempting to row solo across the Pacific.
Tom Robinson has been rowing for 4 months, having left Peru on 1 July.
The 23 year old is almost half way, about 400 km north of the Marquesas, but it's a tense time.
The current keeps pushing him north, and there are very few islands, inhabited or uninhabited, in those latitudes.
He will run short of food in another month or so and the cyclone season is about to begin.
Kennedy has been tracking his progress, reading his blog and listening to a satellite phone conversation he made in mid-October with a boating website in Maine - only the third conversation he's had with anyone since the voyage began.
