Pieterjan (PJ) De Smedt, a close friend of Global Project Manager Frederik Geirnaert, decided to buy a sailing boat to take his family of 5 on a trip from Greece to Australia. After hearing about this journey, Logistics Plus offered to equip the ship with one of our own tracking devices to showcase our tracking and visibility capabilities.
Month 1 Update:
The first month of this journey saw them travel in the same way as the ancient Greek heroes. They passed the place where Homer lived and then crossed over the Adriatic Sea to the sole of the boot that is Sicily, Italy.
While it’s not written in the same dactylic hexameter as the Iliad or the Odyssey (poems written by Homer), PJ keeps a captains blog on his website. The blog is an interesting read about the adventures and travels which feature stories of headwinds, windfalls, storms, and close encounters. Photos from the first month of their journey can be seen below.
