He's going to use his yellow boat as the finish line. It never moves, it's
ugly and unmistakeable... seems perfect for the job.

That's not football, that's hand-ball - and hand-ball is a foul.


The point is the imaginary finish line is a trick to make her time
better than it really was.

It would have had to be 500 miles further east to make beating the record
difficult.

Like I give a flying crap whether or not you call me Captain!

Since when would any sailor care what some pussy-whipped, fat
man who writes third-rate screen play thinks or says?

Oh no!!! She violated rule 5!!!! She's a real sailor and makes her own rules
because she's a real sailor. She's taken her boat where you couldn't, rules or
no rules.
71 days or 171, she's 50 times the sailor you are, Neal. I won't call you
captain anymore!

It is totally abhorrent how so-called sailors in this group
can laud any individual who goes out and does something
that is totally against the Rules and therefore totally
illegal.

THis makes ALL solo voyages where the sailor sleeps NOT LEGAL!!!
Bwahahahahahah!

Neal is busted again!

RB

Bzzzzz.... It's Horvath who has the bust.

Neal's not busted "again". He's one long continuous bust.

Neal, you're a complete wally.

She started her trip around the world at Ushant. When she got back to
Ushant, she had sailed around the world.


What on Earth makes you suggest that the finish line was imaginary?

No. When she got back to Ushant she crossed the somewhat arbitrary line
designated as the start/finish line. She "sailed around the world" when
her path crossed her antipodal path. Curiously, if that happened at
all, it would have been fairly close to Ushant.

Maybe because most of the news reports described it that way. Frankly,
I never much liked the term, but it seems that people have to me
reminded that there isn't a line actually painted on the ocean.
