Other than Silly, I've been seeing a lot of birds out here today, mostly little Jesus Petrels and Brown Gannets, (at least that's what I think they are!) which is kind of surprising as the nearest island is about 200nm away. Apart from when some light rain came through this morning it's been pretty close to perfect sailing all day.
It's really hard to believe but as of tomorrow we will have been at sea for 30 days, exactly a month since we left Sydney on 18 October. One down, seven more months to go! Leaving Sydney really does feel just like yesterday, but It's crazy to think that I haven't seen another person for 30 days. I have to say I honestly don't feel any different for it. It's a lot like someone asking whether you feel any different after a birthday. But it's just the same old me!
I pulled out a new food bag today its back to all my favorite treats. I'm planning on having pasta for dinner, I wonder if Silly likes pasta?
It doesn't look like we'll make the equator tomorrow as I'd hoped, but with only about 240nm to go, so it won't be long now. I'll keep you updated as we get closer. Getting pretty excited!
After crossing the line I'll be sailing north another 200nm up around Kiribati Island, my rounding point in the northern hemisphere, then south back across the line and on to Cape Horn.
That's it from Ella's Pink Lady, Silly and myself for tonight. Below is a pic of EPL doing well today.

So, have Silly and Chicken-with-Attitude met yet?
Congrats on one month's anniversary - well done!
Yea Jess.

What are you planning for your line-crossing ceremony????
Cheers and keep up the good work.

Hi Jesse, EPL and Silly...
What a team!! Well done - I'm so inspired by what you're doing. We're with you all the way.

Hi Jesse, we are still here and waiting each day for ur posts, you write so well and we enjoy every word you write, Hi to Silly and EPL you have so many milestone comming up in the next few hours and days,WOW 30 days since you left our shores Jesse "unreal" sail on Sweetheart we are with you, Love from Roger and Lou.
Hello Sailor Girlie.
I also predict that you will see some seals.
We, of Irish descent, believe in the myth of Selkies.
Selkies are able to become human by shedding their seal skins, and can return to seal form by putting it back on.
Kind of "Mer-People" in sealskin form.
So should you see some seals, know that your friend Molly,
in the good old US of A,
sent them your way...to ensure your safe travels.
Blessings, blessings and more blessings,
Molly

Sounds as though the king of the deep is keeping a close eye on you - thus far he's sent the squid, the dolphins & Silly to report back. I reckon he's so impressed that when you reach the equator you'll be rewarded with a super surprise. Indeed, as you cross that equator line them fish are gonna bite ... get ready to enjoy a feast fit for a King - send a picture ... tummy full, happy Jess!!
You rock! I love this adventure! I had dinner with our Commodore tonight, it is his dream...i told him about your journey and blog...he is now going to be following...Capt. kathy
What’s next Girl?!
Boy-O-Boy, have they sure spoilt you rotten!
No school; a free pink boat with all the accoutrements; electronics galore; no bed time; eat whatever/whenever; go sailing every day and night (around the world no less!); pet dolphins and a pet wild bird (welcome Silly); stay out late (really, really late!); no chaperone; surfing the waves and the web and blogging at all hours; ludicrous phone bills!
Shame, SHAME on your neglectful parents! I can only imagine what you’ll get for Christmas!
Be Safe,

We have been reading your blog and we are so excited for you. Lots of us would like to do the same ! Good luck and we'll keep following you.

Hi Jesse,
Bravo ... 30 days at sea already! Indeed seemed like yesterday I read of you leaving Sydney for this trip around the world. Glad to note your are still upbeat ... that's the way to go girl.
Glad you made a friend ... Silly, I mean. You are remarkably mature in your outlook. I am most impressed you have been able to enjoy yourself despite being just with "me, I and myself" for company ... you have certainly learnt the merits of solitude early in life. :-)
Have fun and Happy Crossing the Equator ...
hi jess.
a note to say hi, and the dolphins are good luck for safe travels, and silly is some one to talk to and not yourself.
thanks for letting us know when you are to turn south. the equator is on the horizon.
keep it up:)
Can you please explain why you have to go up so far north before coming back down south? The sea and I dont get along but I have been inspired by your journey and blog to get my 12yo son to take up sailing.

Hi Jessica,
When sea birds land on your boat, you are close to land somewhere. With my experience with birds, "Silly" is an appropriate name, they're all silly, will you be naming your children?
Some birds from remote places have no fear of us, we may be the first humans they see.
love the picture, but im glad im not there, id be leaning over the edge.
brandi
wOW a whole month alredy, we're following along daily. Awsome girl, We're from the midwest ( Ohio USA ) and have the boat tucked away for the winter. Nice to see you making great progress toward the "LINE" Have fun and stay safe....Gary M
Hi Jessica,
A friend sent me your web page about a week ago. It is great, and I went back and read all of your writings from the very beginning. Every day I look toward a new report from you. Have a fantastic and safe trip around the world.
Hi Jessica
I picked midday today for your crossing so you better put little miss Yanmar in gear, and get a move on! only kidding. I'm changing my guess to midday tomorrow (Thurday) but it all does not matter when you cross, as long all is going well with you and EPL.
It is amazing that a small thing like a bird visiting your boat makes your day. In normal day to day life you would not take any notice of these little things like this.
I have had happen to me a few times out fishing and diving with birds resting on my boat.One of those was a large Albatross came up to the back of the boat and we were hand feeding it our fish fillets, it was a fantastic experience.
By the photo you are making good progress, but not very sunny, we can't have everything.
So Kiribati (Christmas) Island is your northern marker buoy, how do you check this off within the rules, do they take your word that the position you give is correct or do you have transponder on board that gives your boat position? sorry if I'm being to nosy.
Have a great equator crossing, don't drink to much champagne to celebrating the crossing! wait a minute you are to young to drink, so lemonade will do.
So keep having fun and keep safe.
Cheers George Simmons
Lots of love from Exmouth WA
Thank you for sharing your story. I love the ocean. Looking forward to reading more about your journey.

Hi Captain Jessica,
I want to take this opportunity to salute YOU and YOUR TEAM on the 30 day mark of this fantastic "youngestaround" sailing trip.
I have been following your blog since the start and sharing your posts with friends and family who now ask me daily for updates.
Your mom and dad and family must be so proud of you.
Our thoughts and best wishes are with you always.
I love the ELP photo . Keeping on "flying". Be safe young lady.

safe) from Barry(Melbourne Victoria)
Jesse,
Great blog - the photo of the waves (so high and wild looking) reminds me of what a challenge and adventure you have undertaken.
Your boat looks so vulnerable and tiny,riding those 4-5m waves, it made me realise that it takes a special sort of character and determination to attempt such a journey (at any age.
Really impressive.
Good to see you have company - I wonder what name 'Silly' has has given you!!
Enjoy your new meal bag and keep up the great blogs - they really are good and appreciated.
We are all rooting for you and wish you a totally safe journey!!
Martin, Perth
Jessica, when is your birthday? Will you turn 17 during your trip? Odds are 50/50 :) Silly probably is hoping for some fish!
Do you talk to yourself?
I find it soo weird when I go even half a day without talking to anyone.
To Jess
I think your sailing trip is great
All the best
Silly sounds like great company
Take care
Great going Jess!!! We keep up with you and pray for you everyday! We look forward to your blog. You are a true inspiration!!! Enjoy you new meals & take plenty of Vitamin C!
Stay safe
Bobby , Kerry & Tacey
Amazing progress! Your pictures are great and the blogs are so well written, keep up the good work!
You've inspired me to do my graphic design project/homework on sailing, and it's such an interesting topic that research comes quite easily :)
Pretty soon I'll be able to say, "Welcome to the Northern Hemisphere!"
Thanks Jessica!
-Jessica, Wisconsin USA
Congratulations on 30 days at Sea! I wish you captured a photo of "Silly"! I hope you catch a big fish soon! The surf looks rough in that pic! Stay safe !
Kev In NYC
Following your blog from Freetown, Sierra Leone. Wonderful
Hi Jess
I am thinking that you are going to cross the line at 08:30Zulu- he says having no idea of your current speed or position. Happy crossing and Happy Thirtieth!
I hope that Silly has not created any additional cleaning work for you, like sea birds like to do!
SE QLD is heading for a repeat of yesterday's thunder storms. Take care, and tell us about your ceremony when you have time.
Best wishes

Hi Jesse,
Yeh!!!!!!!:-) :-) A NEW FOOD BAG. It's funny how the little pleasures in life can make our day.
Those waves look like pretty good sized waves. I don't know how "SILLY" is staying on board EPL. I'm sure he won't say no to a little pasta, but make sure you have enough for yourself.
Yes, hasn't time flown, one month I have been following your travels now. Not long now Jesse and you will be on the next leg of your wonderful journey of a lifetime. You're doing such a fantastic job all round.
You are a real credit to yourself and your Mum and Dad.
Take care and keep safe. Jan (Auckland, New Zealand)
HI Jessica
I have a question. How do you set the time of where you are. Do you use the position of where you are and set it accordinally or do you use another meathod? It is something that would be hard to get right but something that is important to keep you in a routine etc.
Peter
Hi Jess, Time is flying. I hope the hardest time is over after one month on the sea. It is winter now at Weihai, north part of China. When back after being on a business trip for almost two weeks, I find our beach, huge stone build, tore up by strong wave in around Nov.11-12. So, I admire you more and really hope your see is calm ... GOOD LUCK
Jessica-
Just another fascinated american followers. I have two daughters of my own and I read your blog to them all the time. I hope that they can be as inspired by your "nothing's gonna stop me" attitude as I am. Sitting here at my desk praying for many blessings and favorable breezes for you and EPL.
Hi Jess!
Its great to hear about adventurous people of my generation! Your journey and narrative has let us into a whole new world.
I am setting out for India in a few days and can't wait. I am getting a little bit daunted but your blogs put the trip in perspective somewhat!
Keep having an extraordinary time! Life is great hey!

Having a great time reading your blog. We check everyday. If you are not too busy could you post what time you cross the Equator when you do? We are betting on it and would love your official time. Thanks so much
Good on ya, Silly, for finding safe haven aboard Pink Lady.
Hoping your day has been speedy, Jess. I'm sure you're almost to the equator. YAY!!
Godspeed.
Mary, Maine, USA
I'm a reasonably big bloke and used to sail a 33 footer single handed. I know what it takes to do what you are doing. I think that you are going great and wish you all the best on your trip.
Best wishes, Jess. A lone girl on a mighty big ocean looking for a very small line to cross. It's almost a trigger for a novelist's plot, but this is real, and you're just the girl to find it and cross it, and sail on to Kiribati.
Ian from Brisbane
you're blog makes me forget this crazy life i lead. sometimes after i read your post i close my eyes and try to image what you are seeing. i think it is amazing! glad to hear your doing well!!
To avoid confusion with some Bloggers, Kiritimati(Christmas Isle) in the Kiribati group of Line islands lies at 2dgsN 157w is not to be confused with Christmas Island off the North Coast of Western Australia.

You say you are not missing people and feel unaffected but you are starting to name the birds - perhaps you are missing some warning signs :)
Awesome effort really, I watch your blog every day. Keep up the incredible spirit.

You realize that for every comment you get there are hundreds, if not thousands, that follow your blog and share the sentiments expressed.

Hi, Jessica,
Yesterday I commented that, on your tracker, the top of the location marker square is over the equator (on the most zoomed-in view where the equator shows on my screen) and that you only had to get the middle of the square over the line to count. I am dense sometimes. Looking more closely today, I realized that the pointer at the bottom of the square is the actual marker, and it's when THAT crosses that counts. But still, SO CLOSE.
It's a shame you have to go so far out of your way to circle Kiribati Island, but I looked it up, and sure enough, Jarvis Island is 22 minutes of latitude south of the equator, so as a turning point, it just won't do.
I was very glad to read in your post that your departure seems like yesterday, and you do not find time weighing heavily on you. I guess being busy all the time -- always having something you either must be doing, or at least that needs doing -- does help the time pass. I hope you do have some time for quiet contemplation, perhaps around sunrise and sunset, which I'd guess are the prettiest times of the day.
I did not know pink dessert was one of the acceptable "crossing the equator" rituals, but since you are mate, master, pilot, captain, and crew (and chief cook and bottle washer), I guess you can use whatever ritual you wish. And a pink dessert sounds like a lot more fun than the ones I've heard about! It should start a new trend. A kinder, gentler, much yummier trend.
Best wishes,
Michael
There are so many questions on my and your readers' minds, I wish Julie and Jessica's support crew would step in to answer some of them. You want a list? Let us know. Alternatively, just plow into it. How about S&S (Sparkman and Stephens) explaining EPL and giving themselves a plug in the process? Or that fantastic Parker that Jesse keeps raving about? Compared to the massive failures of auto-pilots on other round-the-world adventures, Parker sounds like a great story. Or the menu that's gone into 8+ monthly food bags? Or, what's in the first-aid kit?
It may seem trivial to Julie and the crew, but we WANT TO KNOW. Congratulations on an exercise in planning that would do NASA proud. Helmut
Hmm, I've signed all my comments the same up till now, and I intended to be consistent -- but due to poor proofreading, I wasn't. I meant to sign that previous comment "Michael from Texas, USA," not merely "Michael."
It's a good thing you're more careful than I am. Out there, you need to get things right the first time.
Michael from Texas, USA
Hey Jess, I hope you're well.
Congratulations on your first month's achievements. Congrats also in anticipation of your becoming a shellback. Not long now. I can almost feel your excitement.
A decent front has just passed us here in Perth (1300hrs) with quite a heavy downpour of horizontal rain. As I tried to imagine the conditions out on the ocean I thought of you.....again. You're all I ever seem to think about these days. It's quite infectious too because I just had an electrician here to install a smoke alarm and quess what we talked about...right...and quess what he's going to do when he gets home...right again. I must say Jess, with all the good vibes you're getting from everyone, how can you possibly not succeed. Have a great day, take care and catchya later...Sam
PS. To "Amazedbyou", thanks and good idea and I'll do my best to be there with my pink t-shirt on.
Regards...Sam
Hi Jess,
thanks for writing and thanks for silent periods as well as having them makes reading your notes like breathing ocean mist when the Sun rises. Love your dry, warm humor.
God bless you

Jessica,
Seeing your pic made me wonder what kind of safeties you have in place if one of your transponders goes off signaling your crew that your in trouble. How long is it estimated before a heli could reach you?
Lori (Western Washington)
So excited for you to see Kiribati so close now on google earth.
Go girl, love following your blog and glad to read you have a little friend on board to keep you company
Hi Jess,
Go Girl, seems like your having some fun out there meeting new friends along the way.
Love your pics along the way, how about a pic of "Silly".
have fun with your new food bag.

Hi Jess,
Hmmm new food bag, thats got to be exciting yeah. Hows Silly? Is he still around, Would like to meet this young bird, Hows about a pic.
loving your blogs.
happy sailing not long till the equater now....
Happy sailing
Your really brave!!!
i couldn't have done that!
Nice going Jesse. You are an inspiration my dear. I really enjoy reading your blogs and miss the videos. Any chance of doing another video soon. I have a 16 year old daughter who finds it difficult to do anything on her own. You truly have a wonderful life ahead of you. Good luck and enjoy the journey!

Your really brave!
i hope your having fun!!!
i dont think i could do it!!!!
Jesse,
This is one of the best photos from you. It shows the real scene and you have captured the action well. It will be useful for your books or anything you want to publish when you are back.
Keep sailing and we are all watching behind you.
Take care.

Hi again Jesse,
It's good to hear that you are picking up all sorts of friends along the way to the equator.
Can I suggest something? Maybe "Silly" is King Neptune's messenger and will fly away as you approach the equator to let Neptune know when you will be knocking on his door so that he can be ready for you - with lavish gifts of course!
So you will be sailing around Kiribati before heading south. I was in Kiribati on HMAS Stalwart during the South Pacific Leaders conference in 1988 (I think).
The highest point of Kiribati is only about 3-4 metres above sea level and is surrounded by a huge reef that is absolutely littered with tanks, unexploded bullet and larger artillery shells, planes, personnel carriers and the like, from World War II. The people of Kiribati are very friendly and it's a great place!
And apparently just off the reef, there are a stack of navy ships, a great place for diving.
Anyway, enough from me today, say hello to your new friends from me and have a great night tonight.
Take care gorgeous girl

Hi Jesse (aka Lady Penelope),
The photo is fantastic because it gives me an appreciation of the conditions at the moment. I hope you were clipped in when you took that one.
I guess while Parker can steer you would still have your hands full with trimming the sails and adjusting your course. How much time do you need to spend on deck and at the helm?
Say G'day to Silly for me if he is still about.I bet moist reading your blog wished they were that bird so they could share the ride with you for a bit.
Love reading your blog and thanks for sharing your dream with all us strangers.
All the best
John
What was the first thing you ate from the new food bag? What do you think will be the last thing left?
Hi Jesse,
Silly sounds like a thrill seeker to me! That pic,
it looks a bit rough and stormy out there!
Cya Jesse can't wait for the next blog,

Greetings Jessica,
I would like to congratulate you on the success so far, as you clock up your first month out at sea. Wishing you all the best and hoping you will cross the equator soon. I must say you are one couragous person to be out there sailing. If the bird, you nickname silly, would you mind if you take a photo of it if you have a spare moment please? Thank you for keeping all update with your nlogs Freddo
Say hi to Silly from me . . .
I'm sure he's just keeping a watch out for you on satellite dome, how kind he is :-O
Did you feed time some pasta for his hard work? lol
hey jess
could u plz add another blog u are so pretty and talented
From issy aged 10
jess 30 days and not caught a fish sounds like my fishing good luck your doing great ian
Photo of Silly!!! I had hoped in a strange kind of way you might call him Wilson, after Tom Hanks' volleyball friend in Cast/Away, after all, you are kinda cast far, far away, but hey, that's just... well, silly!!
I take it that even in the middle of the ocean, the equatorial region is still pretty warm?
Keep safe, stay sailing.
Silly isn’t silly…he is waiting for a free feed of fish, you better go and check your lure :).

Seeing you're nearing the equator, I think Silly's a spy sent by King Neptune. Only need to worry when you see the bears trying to climb on board...
Dave
Hi Jess, there is nothing wrong calling the little bird "Silly". Its a bit like calling a pig "Sunday Dinner". It is only when you start talking to a volley ball called "Wilson" then you know you have been at see too long. I hope you enjoy your new food bag.
I will be really cool when you cross the equator.
Safe travels and God Bless.

Hi Jesse,
Looks as though Silly, just like the dolphins the other day, has travelled a long way to be with the famous Jessica Watson.
Funny how you thought that it strange for the birds to be so far away from land. Sounds just like a young lady that I have heard about.
Enjoy the new food parcel.
Stay safe and come home soon.

Congrats Jessica on your first 30 days of your enthralling voyage. I love reading your excellent blogs, please keep it up and good sailing.
Jessica,
hi from Dubai!
I've been following your blog nearly every day since your departure… what an adventure you are living!
Like many people I think, I'm torn between admiration for your courage and determination, and disbelief at your foolishness. :-P
I fervently hope that your story will keep writing itself beautifully, and be crowned by success.
It's a daily breath of fresh air to read your updates… literally, it's like an open window on the wide ocean! And it feels strangely warm to be connected to a lonesome stranger navigating the globe on a tiny shell… hope you get a similar feeling at the thought of all your readers. :-)
I guess that's the magic of today's high technology, but it comes with a drawback: making us all (and perhaps you) feel like you're only having a safe, pleasant and fun ride.
That's why I love today's pic: although it's probably not the roughest sea, it gave me a "gulp!" effect, the kind of light panic (is it agoraphobia?) that squeezes your inside. There be waves out there!! :-O
It reminds us that you're not just out there making cupcakes, but facing real forces of nature that could harm you with much worse than a gulp of salty water.
It reminds us that you're a girl with guts. Wow!
Or possibly, that the bird is not the most Silly of the two. :-)
Either way, best of luck to you and thanks for taking us onboard.

We are having a serious discussion here I Sweden. Do you use an electrical toothbrush? :-)
We are very impressed about what you are doing and follow your blogg every day.
Hi Jess,
the end of the 1st leg/ stage1/ part1, is nigh...how exciting for us all. I hope Silly is with you and EPL to celebrate. No doubt some will be raising their glasses, pumping the air, or however they may want to acknowledge its significance. As for me, I'll be sitting quietly at my computer with a grin from ear to ear. With a sigh of relief I'll remind myself that it is 1 down and 5 to go. Steady as she goes Jesse :)
Ben (Qld)
the way the wind is blowing here you must b missing out. Nice omlette? God bless girl good luck
cant wait till u get home so we can drive to sydney, put the boat in and come out to welcome you home. Only 7 months to go. It will be cold when u get back but be sure the harbour and approaches to the heads will be packed to the rafters, god speed Andrew
You're doing so well; don't be disappointed that the crossing of the equator has taken a little longer than you had hoped. You are just racking up the points so, what's a day or two at this stage. Take good care; keep well and safe, and continue to enjoy your daily achievements.
Charlie, Port Moresby, PNG
I love the colour of the water in your photo. So clean and blue. I am following your blog every day. Thank you for sharing with us!
Hehe... if you feed and water Silly, she may even stay with you awhile. You may have found a pet for a few days.
Good luck and keep up the excellent work!
You are doing well! Thanks for the updates!

Jesse nice picture...keep them coming. Enjoy all that calm water, cause it will get a little choppy later, but you can handle it.
Take care and Safe Sailing!

Can't you see she's on her way now
No-one's there to cramp her style
(not even Silly now)
You DO rock Jessica.

hi,
Sounds great hope you having fun. Remember, a passion is something to stick with, so keep going at it.
Enjoy and safe travels,

From what I can see, "Silly" looks like an Indian Minor or a "Drongo" as they are sometimes called. Maybe you correctly named him / her.
Go Jess - we are proud of you.

Hi Jess, just catching up with you..the way you described the dolphin visit was delightful. You are doing great! I am glad you had some "Silly" company..he sounded like a fun bird! Sail Safe:)
