High seas and the Covid lockdown in Victoria slowed his progress somewhat but he has had no mechanical problems at sea and tows a pontoon behind his craft carrying fuel tanks. Dorothea Willey from Tanilba Bay, who greeted her friend at the foreshore, said that Lindsay took all safety precautions which included a satellite phone and a beacon. “We watch his progress via a satellite tracker,” she said. “We met him in outback WA when he was on a solo motorbike trek,” she added. “Lindsay spent the night ashore in Lemon Tree Passage before continuing on his epic Australian circumnavigation,” she remarked. “We wish him well,” she said.
