Default Wow... Check out this circumnavigational effort!

Circumnavigate north to south then south to north.

No one has ever done that.

Amen!

Today... during my internet wanderings... I ran across this web site:

It is about a young lady (Dee Caffari) sailing solo aboard the "Aviva"
a Challenge 72' Class yacht... and attempting a solo circumnavigation
the hard way.


She's singlehanding one of the BT Challenge boats, they sail around the
world "the wrong way," people line up to pay for crew spots. Crazy.

BTW the boats are steel, but built for speed.

My impression is that some of the dirigible flights of the
late 1920s and early 1930s came pretty close to that.
