Day 5721 August 2026

Back on land

once onshore, life and clock are no longer based on UTC; and ocean life vocabulary is packed away with all other essentials for maintenance and further development. Basically, the Spirit of Waubun physically deserves a well and professional TLC by Rannoch Adventure amazing team, and I said bye to the Spirit of Waubun temporarily.

Ran and I are honored and grateful to have received huge welcome-back to land from friends and families near and afar. I finally got normal enough to comm with most of my families and friends. They have been so happy to hear we landed.

I felt absolutely debted to all if I did not reflect the PRs or PBs I made. To name a few, here they are:

—54 days of NO shower rowing across the North Atlantic Ocean!!!
—5 times complete dental hygiene rowing across the North Atlantic Ocean!!!
—60 packs of Ramen or the like noodles finished in 40 days!!!
—lost nearly 20 lb of weight (mostly muscles) in 54 days!!!

All these and other PRs/PBs were not planned or pursued but came along naturally. They now have become a part of a history of a small being on earth. We are all so tiny in these massive land and ocean gifted to us. So, go out there and live a life to the fullest and light darkness with love and compassion.
