Peter Lawless and Waxwing, circumnavigation

[Marsali_1]

I'm wondering if anyone knows what happened to Peter Lawless' circumnavigation attempt? His Youtube channel has not been updated for quite some time following some equipment failures when he was near Madeira.

His steering failed twice and I think he ended up replacing the pedestal at some effort: time and money. After the repair he returned to Ireland.

I believe the boat was a Rival 41.

According to Marine Traffic, Waxing, his Rival 41 is in Greystones Marina in Ireland at the moment.

I got the feeling he may be unwell.

He did repair is steering and was pleased with the repairs. However, the delay would have resulted in him passing Cape Horn too late on the season, at the end of summer.
