Ellen MacArthur sails solo toward an around-the-world record

By KRYSTYNA RUDZKI

LONDON (AP) - Ellen MacArthur has endured stormy seas, 100-kilometre-per-hour winds, a broken sail, burns, bruises and exhaustion -
even a close encounter with a whale. The payoff: a solo around-the-world sailing record.

The 28-year-old Englishwoman completed the 42,000-mile circumnavigation at 5:29 p.m. EST on Monday by crossing an imaginary finish
line between Ushant, France, and the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall on the south coast of England. Her final time was 71 days 14 hours
18 minutes and 33 seconds, her control team said.

An "imaginary finish line"??? So, they stick a finish line anywhere it's convenient, now?

Her 'control team said'??? So, her own team declares she broke the record? Isn't that like
letting Mike Tyson referee his own fights?

Bwahahahhahahahahah! Some record!
