We have received photos and videos from Mike & James from their trip to Chuuk Island. We expect the logs to come through later.

HAWAII I for one don’t like to impose on others…James is the same really. But Chris Haarhoff was insistent – if we made it to Maui then one of his best friends would meet us and take care of us. It’s nicer to stay in someone’s home than most hotels. Well, that is if you

After leaving Maui, Hawaii, on the 9th of August, Mike & James flew over the international date line to Majuro in the Marshall Islands to arrive there on Tuesday the 11th of August, in effect skipping a whole day. With the help of some nice tailwinds at stages, our two adventurers took 19 hours to

We received a sms from Mike & James just before landing:We decided in flight to change our destination to Maui instead of Hilo once we knew we could make it because we

Mike & James have left Los Angeles, California, and are now en-route to Hilo, Hawaii. The flight to Hawaii will cover a distance of 3,950km and is expected to take nearly 21 hours. Thank you to Ramona Cox for the following photos, and Matt Liknaitzky for the video clips below.
