First time the AIS has been called into action!
About 11pm last night... Tom had been asleep for about an hour. He called up the ship.
"What type of vessel are you and what is your current speed?"
A voice with an eastern European accent crackled throguh the radio; it was a cargo ship doing 12knots.
"Don't worry BeHatty, I can see you on my screen. I will turn a little to starboard for you. And Happy New Year!!"

Three weeks alone at sea! 🌊 Tom has had a tough week with not a lot of wind or wave assistance, but when you zoom out on the map you can really see how much progress he's made in the last three weeks! Weather conditions are picking up again in a favourable direction, so he's hoping to get some bigger miles in this week.

Another massive milestone... 1000 nautical miles rowed! When the going gets tough, the tough get going, and Tom has been ploughing away at those miles on his way to Antigua. Conditions are currently more mentally gruelling than they are physically, although spending 15 hours a day on the oars with barely 6h sleep a night is monumentally taxing on his body.

Two full weeks at sea complete! Tom has rowed a mammoth 859 nautical miles, but there are still 1800 ahead of him! He's settled into a routine now, but the conditions are challenging - not in the way of last week where the seas were huge, but hard because there is little wind meaning all the forward power must come from him. Celebrating Christmas alone was tough, although safe to say a once in a lifetime experience out there. Sleep deprivation is setting in too, but he's ploughing on into week 3 in 5th place in the solo fleet!

It's nearly two full weeks since Tom left the safety and familiarity of La Gomera to spend 3000 miles alone on the Atlantic Ocean. He is closer to humans in the International Space Station than humans on land!

While you've been enjoying all your Christmas festivities, Tom has been out there rowing. When you get up tomorrow morning, he'll still be out on the Atlantic, alone on his boat, Be Hatty. And when you go back to work, he'll still be rowing. Eat, sleep, row, boat maintenance, cleaning, more rowing. Repeat!
