Upon landing in Sal I couldn't help but feel a little underwhelmed by the barren landscape and almost total flatness of the island. This was to prove quite deceiving, as shortly after I found that it offers an absolutely stunning beach. It seemed only fair to take advantage of this by soaking up the sun for an hour.

After the wind died down, Sarah left Choshi Marina earlier today at 15.33pm (Japan time), 7.33am (UK time). Now clear of the marina she should be able to benefit from favourable winds and begin her solo row across the North Pacific. Click here to read more
Sarah made her first attempt to leave Choshi Marina today at 9.47am (Japan time), 1.47 am (UK time). Unfortunately, the wind blowing into the marina is so strong that she was unable to make much progress and had to turn back. Sarah will make another attempt in a few hours time when the wind is due to die down. Click here to read more
Having crossed the Canal de Sao Vicente by ferry, we took an Aluguer up into the mountains. Then we walked to the top of Pico da Cruz. This is a volcanic peak reaching nearly 5000 feet high. Scientists started measuring sea temperatures in 1999 and they have been rising ever since. This may indicate that another eruption is due. Click here to read more
The wall outside the Gola Rainforest National Park office brought me here. It is covered in a heavily detailed mural; a hand painted paradise where conical thatched huts converge with dark forest. Every one of the forest's celebrity species makes an appearance: pygmy hippo, python, the picarthes and the elusive leopard. It is as impossible to ignore this wall as it is the huge clock tower and the Kenema town sign, all are covered in rainforest scenes and animals, yet all emanate from the artistic talents of just one man's hand.

It is stormy outside. The wind has howled and the rain has poured since yesterday evening, really cranking up through the wee hours this morning. I popped down to Choshi Marina to check on Happy Socks ahead of a visit by the Customs Officer. The Coast Guard had already called off their inspection on account of bad weather. Needless to say, there was no inspection by Customs because poor Happy Socks was being boshed about so much on her moorings and the rain and wind so strong that we might not all have come back. I am always in awe of the power of nature – gusts knocking things over and rain sounding like bullets – and the dynamism of it all. The other day when I had some photos taken by visiting photographer James Sebright, it wasn't quite a millpond but it was fairly jolly calm. Click here to read more

A Meaningless Penance? Teaser Clip from Alastair Humphreys on Vimeo.
Wilfred Thesiger was one of the greatest British adventurers and travel writers of the past century. He was one of my earliest heroes. His tough expeditions to the planet's wildest corners and his crisp, sparse writing style both appealed to me in the early days when I first began setting off on adventures of my own.
Lifemarque ambassador - Alastair Humphreys and his companion Leon McCarron- embarked on a journey in search of Wilfred Thesiger, an expedition deep into the fabled Empty Quarter desert (the Rub 'al Khali), attempting to walk 1000 miles through The Sands in Wilfred Thesiger's legendary footsteps.
Lifemarque Ambassador Ben Saunders is attempting the expedition Captain Scott died trying to achieve - the most poignant journey of the golden age of Edwardian exploration remains unfinished to this day. In October 2013, a British team set out to complete Scott's 1500 mile journey to the South Pole and back on foot. Recently one of Ben's short films 'Living on Ice' appeared on Channel 4, featuring the Lifesystems Pulk Harness. Click here to view the video now!
