Hi all. I haven't posted here for a while but I think the following justifies an exception. [www.solotheamericas.org] I take a little pride (entirely undeserved) that this young guy, on the same class of boat that I sail (an Albin Vega 27) has successfully completed a solo circumnavigation of the Americas under sail. NW Passage and Cape Horn Solo, on a 27 footer. Not just the smallest but the first boat to achieve this. And for charity. A moment's respectful silence from the bargees would be appropriate. All the best to all.

And for charity.

A moment's respectful silence from the bargees would be appropriate.

All the best to all.
