A Tasmanian sailor has returned from a months-long odyssey with tales of sea monsters, aliens and pirates after becoming one of the fastest Australians to sail the globe.

Tristan Gourlay, 47, arrived back in the Apple Isle on Saturday, setting foot on land for the first time in five months after smashing the Australian record for a solo, non-stop, and unassisted circumnavigation of the world.
