Poor, hapless, Zac Blunderland's supposed to be sailing around the world
but
he's now been in South Africa for over two months and he just got arrested
for having an expired visa.
How long did it take Slocum? My copy of his book is at my mothers
house.

Slocum actually 'sailed' around the world. No motor on his "Spray." I think
it took him a couple of years but he wasn't out to be the youngest or the
oldest or the fastest, etc. He didn't care much about records. His main
motivation was to do a solo circumnavigation as enjoyment and he stopped and
lectured, etc. as needed to get funds to continue. This is real sailing and
a real one-man show. A far cry from some pimple-face kid who doesn't have a
clue being pushed around the world via committee, repair crews and diesel
power.
