After sailing 32,500 nautical miles around the world I want to give a shout out to my two loyal and exceptional crew members. They never talk back to me, require feeding or fall asleep on watch. In a perfect world they would make cups of tea and wash the dishes but I can't complain. The Aries windvane has kept Fathom on course in all sorts of conditions from 5knots of wind to 50knots of wind, flat seas to tumbling waves, upwind and downwind. I couldn't have got this far without it and have spent many hours watching it do its business without complaint using no electricity and only the power of the wind, a truly fantastic piece of engineering. Secondly the Aquair 100 tow gen. The generator is mounted on the pushpit and the forward motion of the boat spins a metal propeller at the end of 20m of rope. In winds over 15kts the drag created is unimportant and in tandem with the solar panel it keeps the batteries full and the fridge going 24/7. Cheers to both!

Jumping into crystal-clear waters off the back of your sailboat is one of the best parts of boat life! 🌊⛵ We love seeing life underwater. The best View is always from the bottom. Swimming off your sailboat is amazing, but staying safe and prepared makes it even better. Do you have a go-to swimming spots? Drop it in the comments!

In August 2021 I plan to sail solo, non-stop, unassisted around the world from Ireland back to Ireland via the 5 great capes, I will be using a sextant and paper charts as my primary navigation tools.  If I am successful, I will be the first Irish person to complete a solo non-stop circumnavigation of the world. I estimate the trip will take approximately 8 months nonstop. My yacht Waxwing is a Rival 41. The entire trip will be recorded and documented from start to finish. From preparation of Waxing to upgrades, fitting new equipment, sea trials and then the trip itself. I have been working non-stop on this project for two years. Preparing waxwing for the circumnavigation. I have waxwing almost ready and will be showing you all of my updates on my channel. ​ I will also have a live tracker for people to follow my position and progress live, this will be available to view as soon as I set sail. https://www.peterlawlesssolocircumnavigation.com/
