The teenager, from land-locked Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, set off from
Gibraltar on the 3,500-mile voyage to the Caribbean on November 18. He hopes
to reach his destination off the island of Antigua, and break the world

Fortunately, not only am I an expertly trained sailor, pilot and
daredevil, I am also a member of Mensa. I attend meetings in my black
speedos and the women just go crazy.
