The 16,000 kilometre journey from the coast of Peru to the seaside city of Brisbane, Australia - the widest section of the Pacific - has never been crossed absolutely unaided by a rower, and Tuijn says just nine people have rowed it even with assistance. Tuijn reached the central point of his crossing - an insignificant point of water in the ocean - 111 days after setting off from Peru in March. He has been making good progress, and has since cut his estimated time of arrival in Brisbane by a month. The Dutchman, who now expects to reach his destination on October 20, has kept in touch with those tracking his movements through daily internet postings from his laptop  , including his wife Winnie. His boat, the Zeeman Challenger, is a seven-metre custom plywood vessel.
