Default Ellen breaks another record


Ellen MacArthur has just broken another solo record.

She's done it, another record...after beating Francis Joyon's time to the
Equator, and then to Cape of Good Hope, Ellen has sailed B&Q to another
record by passing the longitude of Cape Leeuwin (SW Australia) at 2215gmt
and 45 seconds, knocking 15 hours off the record set by Joyon. 'I nearly
missed it, I was working down below, realised it was light, and suddenly
thought I must be near the line of Cape Leeuwin, dashed to the nav table
and saw I was just a minute a way!'...Ellen's sixth sense?
