Default Just wonder ..

What ever happened to the sailor, Reid Stowe, who was planning to spend
1,000 days sailing without stopping.

I found this old story about his trip ::

"At the appointed hour sometime this winter, when the tides are right and
his resolve is firmly locked in, Stowe will ease his 70-foot schooner, Anne,
out of its modest berth, sandwiched between a floating restaurant and the
basketball courts of New York City's Chelsea Piers. He'll set sail down the
last lick of the Hudson River, past the Statue of Liberty, and barrel his
way into the North Atlantic and, he hopes, the record books. ........"

If he left in spring of 2006, he will be to the 730 day mark this spring ..
that is lots of time onboard!

Anyway,, is he still out and about or was this another nut case story.
