  • Two laps completed! Today I crossed my 2nd out going track and thus I have tied the second knot & completed two true circumnavigations of the world – solo. Congratulations me.
  • Rendezvous with "Portofino". Very exciting. It was lovely to see them all. I had good conversations with all in the VHF radio.
