Likwid....I'd just knew you would reply!!!

Again, I don't care how many at sea hours a person has... solo RTW contests are not a good idea. I agree with you on Everest but most of those are not solo. I also think if they rescue someone from extreme mountain climbing they should pass on the rescue bill to them. Same thing for the guy who rowed across.

As you know from all your hours at sea, unforeseen stuff can happen which can not easily be resolved with one person on board...even with the best planning and best equipment. It will be days before they reach her and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in rescue operations.

The girl from Australia recently made it and I followed her all winter online. Thought she was nuts as well as her parents but it was entertaining.
