I believe that he also sailed the smallest boat to westabout nonstop.

Poor Jeannie - all those years of effort and she only held the record for months.

But she held it. And earned all of the sailing communities eternal respect for her endurance. 

She sure still holds it as a woman.

We should all be that lucky to keep doing what we love at that age.

Poor Jeannie - all those years of effort and she only held the record for months.

Nothing to keep her from trying to get the record back.
