When I had contact with him, he was 900 miles from Falmouth, with his estimated date of arrival here between August 7 and 12, weather permitting. If he completes his voyage, it will be a world record for the smallest boat ever to complete this arduous and heroic feat. Rounding the Cape, he encountered storm force winds and had to abandon his non-stop round the world trip. After a brief stopover for repairs, he sailed across the Southern Ocean to Hobart before tackling the voyage to Cape Horn. However, the world record for the smallest boat to sail around the world is his when he reaches Falmouth.
