wrote: Rutan pointed out the not-too-long-ago solo trip around the world by a woman in a sailboat. Ellen McArthur, if I spell it correctly. She just did it again, breaking the round-the-world record for a keelboat solo. Likely she will be on the New Year's Honours List: Dame Ellen! Not bad for a young woman who used to hang around the Southampton docks, begging sailors to take her out on their boats so she could learn how to sail. When McArthur made her first solo around the world, my daughter and her now-husband met her at Cape Horn to put supplies aboard her boat. It was designed by Merfyn Owen, and I think the new one was at well. -- all the best, Dan Ford email (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum: www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum: www.pipercubforum.com the blog: www.danford.net
