IT was the silence that made this voyage different from all of those before it.

Exactly 10 years before,

when Newcastle yachtsman Ivan Macfadyen had sailed exactly the same course from Melbourne to Osaka, all he'd had to do to catch a fish from the ocean between Brisbane and Japan was throw out a baited line. "There was not one of the 28 days on that portion of the trip when we didn't catch a good-sized fish to cook up and eat with some rice," Macfadyen recalled.

 But this time, on that whole long leg of sea journey,
the total catch was two.

 No fish. No birds. Hardly a sign of life at all.
