Day 5 • June 5, 2021

[🇺🇸] Few more days on the sea anchor to let the high winds, gusts and big swell go and it will be safe again to paddle. Can't wait!

[🇫🇷] Encore quelques jours à l'ancre flottante pour laisser passer les vents violents, les rafales et la grosse houle, et les conditions seront à nouveau suffisamment clémentes pour me permettre de pagayer. J'ai hâte !

Hang in there my friend! You and your journey are always on my mind on my morning paddle sessions, or look out over the ocean and try to visualize what you are experiencing. Truly inspiring!

Godspeed to Hawaii 🙏❤️

Hi, we’ve never met but I watched your departure on the local news. I admire your courage and decided to follow your voyage daily. While flying to Hawaii two summers ago, I found myself wondering what it would be like to be alone in that great wilderness. Hope you don’t mind if I live vicariously through your adventure. I wish you calm seas and a breeze at your back.

You are a beast Cyril. I am with you in spirit brother. Just keep riding the rollers, forcing food down and powering through. You got this!!

Kathy DeMorales • 05 Jun, 2021

So our struggles with our challenged elementary daughter feel like, albeit different, the same unknown. We are prepared, hopeful, but nature is in charge, with her anxiety and other Layers. We get it. I don't know if this relates, but we are pulling for you, against what feels like the odds , is our point. We are watching, Hoping and pulling for you. Good speed DJ

Hello Cyril! I heard of your voyage on Facebook and follow along with your posts every day. You're very brave and I truly admire your desire to do this amazing journey! May God bless you and keep you safe. I pray for you nightly!

Wishing you were coming to our island of Kauai! What courage it must take to even consider paddling 2200 miles. I push off our six man and am exhausted after 10 miles. I know when we get 5 miles off shore it is amazing, it must just be incredible for you! I love the ocean and am happy for you! Enjoy every moment! All our Aloha, Pomokai, Annie
