When Tom Robinson starts to row from Vanuatu on Friday, there are two things he will wait for when he returns to Australia. "I'm just going to sit in a comfortable chair and get a glass of water with some ice."Said. More than a year after Pacific Ocean, Brisbane man is looking forward to small comfort of life when he came to a place on shores of North Queensland. In next two months, the 24 -year -old Pacific Ocean hopes to be youngest person with a shovel. First, he will have to return from Luganville in Vanuatu. "This will be a makeup or breaking leg," he said. Tom Robinson Hand built the boat he used to cross the Pacific Ocean Mr. Robinson aims come to Cauirns until December, but if the season brings strong winds, there is a chance push the north. Dream Mission More than a year ago, Tom hit the open seas from Peru in South America on a 24 -meter shovel boat where he built him. A part of a ten -year dream began to chase as a young. He spent 160 days in the sea before he fell ashore on Cook Islands. "Many people listen to songs and podcasts all day, but I decided that I want my experience as simple and pure as possible," he said. He's carrying a satellite phone for security, but he said he didn't use it for the first 75 days. Finally, called his father inform him to inform him that he had been blown out of the course and that had rethink his first stop. Before left the road, he didn't think there was something would be afraid of on the journey. “I proved myself quite quickly… This scary when you fly from the route to the air,” he said. Mr Robinson decided that it was best go to the west the Cook Islands. When Island of Penrhyn reached the shores, he was given a name by local residents. He spent four months while waiting for more materials and moving towards Samoa. Not all smooth sail There are other coarse patches along the way. “I had a Staph infection, and I got these terrible wounds all over my legs, Mr Mr. Robinson said. Tom Robinson sent a shovel boat to Peru a container, where he started his march in the Pacific. The diagnosis required him to stop and take an antibiotic. Mr. Robinson also made close matches with sharks. But they bit the shovels while rowing." Once, he left the American Samoası, who attracted a shovel for Vanuatu, came to the island of Gua. Most recently, Vanuatu went to the second largest city on Espiritu Santo Island. Luganville for the last two weeks. The last leg of the journey from Vanuatu to the Queensland coast now begins. Tom Robinson plans make a solo from Chile to Australia with an effort be the youngest person in the Pacific Ocean In order to bring back safely, it must be separated as soon as possible. "I have to return to Australia before the start of the cyclone season," he said. "I looked at me too."
