non-stop circumnavigation

He's been at it a long time but what you possibly are unaware of is the fact that his mast snapped in the middle of the southern ocean (Pacific) on Thursday, March 11th, 2010 08:59 pm. He is the master of understatement!

From 11 March, it took him until 10 April to jury rig a pole and stays and fabricate some sort of sails and rounded Cape Horn and has sailed all the rest of the journey under jury rig! :)
