Commander's log day 1: 

Well, I don't know how to write in a journal. I guess I'll introduce myself.

I am Jedediah Kerman, the commander for the amphibious Kerbin circumnavigator the "Elcano IV." 

It is a hybrid vehicle that is capable of long distance travel across Kerbin.

Our ship is a beauty. It has a crew of 6, a movie theater, a kitchen, ore drills and converter, cozy accommodations, and plenty of snacks.

I am proud to call this ship my home for sometime. Elcano, here we come.

DAY 2:
 

Off we go! 

 

DAY 2: Afternoon:
 

We have done a small refueling stop on an island north-east of the KSC. We're about 150/170 Km away from the KSC currently. We will leave the island after a short movie with the crew.

DAY 2: Evening: 

OH NO! Our solar panels broke! Bill says he doesn't have spares, but if we keep our engines going it will produce electric charge. We can also turn our lights out to conserve energy.  Oh well. Who said circumnavigation was going to be easy?

Whoops! I tend to stick to the OX-STAT panels - the deploying ones are just too fragile for vehicles.

Yeah. Whoopsies!

DAY 3: 

We continue our journey across the ocean. We are heading to the southern tip of a peninsula. 

All my crew are smiles as we continue into the morning.

If you use TACLS and Universal Storage, that contains a useful hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell that is my mainstay for electrically powered roving.
