Congrats to Zac!

Zac Sunderland has completed his circumnavigation of the world. The fact that it is a record is icing on the cake. In my book, he is an inspiration to young and old. By a stroke of luck it all seemed to come to a conclusion on a low news day for those valuable bonus points this guy and his family deserve.

With true spirit, he bought and fixed up an old sailboat and set off to sail some of the longest passages of the globe. His record wont last long. Younger, professionally funded and “better” equipped sailors are hot on his tail in this remarkable year of circ-young-navigations.

Im happy to see the national publicity Zac garnered. It can only help a sport that needs more of it here in the USA.
