Watching Andrew Mcauley's documentary 'Solo' was a huge slap in the face. But I already know what can happen. The video on his boat and the story behind his crossing really brought it home to me...I really respect the outlook on life he had and I think that is that main thing that drives me. I won't know the realities of life until I am out there experiencing it for myself. So to the hardcore adventurer and the doubters alike, I know what I am getting myself into, I know the dangers. But I don't know them. It is my outlook and actions that will shape the way I go about life.

10 DAYS UNTIL THE END OF SCHOOL!
I can't believe its almost here! My plans can finally start taking shape, its been on paper for much to long! Sponsorship is going to be my biggest problem. Its all very well having a wild dream but fuelling that dream is harder than it seems. Particularly if your a boy fresh out of school....with no job. I have to tailor a proposal that is irresistible. How I manage that I don't know. I am prepared to live in the street, if I can get this project of the ground. Every penny I now start to earn has to go towards this project! I look down the barrel of 8 weeks of pure hell. 8 weeks of HSC preparation, and then on top of that 4 weeks of the HSC. On the 8th of November I will officially be thrown in to the world. I will be naive I will make constant mistakes, I will face things that will drag me down routes I don't want to go down. But I have one vision, to paddle a small boat to a small island. Why? Not just to see how I face challenges, but also to see how capable I am in this life. Oh and to prove to those, who think the world ISN'T theirs. This may sound cliche but I want to open the eyes of millions. I don't know how long this may take but it WILL happen. I can assure you.
