Default Zac is a cheater. I'm cheering for the British lad.

Young Zac has blown his chance to sail alone around the world. This from his
blog:

"The shipping out there was so heavy - there was a constant stream of ships
coming in and out and 60 standing off the entrance. So I tacked out to about
two miles from the harbor and went hove-to. The guys from the yacht club
were having trouble finding me in the maze of lights so I turned on my
strobe. When they found me they threw me a line and a cold Coke and towed me
in. Now I was so tired coming in that I was falling asleep with the wind in
my face. I finally got docked about 4:30 in the morning and went over to
Phil's boat for a very light dinner.

No honor! Even Donald Crowhurst is probably spinning in his grave.
