Ocean Odyssey

The crew

Peter & Jean

Irrespective of whether we knew you already, or you joined because of a shared love of travel, adventure and getting wet — everyone on these pages was a friend of the voyage.

Peter Knight

Peter Knight

Peter Knight — sailor, storyteller, and the voice behind the Ocean Odyssey logs. With Jean he prepared Hinewai for years, then wrote home from every leg of the voyage with humour, practicality and an open heart.

Jean Hutson-Knight

Jean Hutson-Knight

Jean Hutson-Knight — partner in the adventure, navigator of people and places as much as charts. Her presence runs through the photographs and the long stays — Darwin, the orang-utans, the parties and the hard yards on the hard.

Friends along the way

The logs name many who shared watches, workshops, parties and passages — Simon, Pommy, Will, Mike, and others. Their faces appear throughout the voyage chapters.
