Bert terHart's Epic Journey

Bert, a resident of Gabriola island, BC, left Victoria on Vancouver Island for his lifelong dream of sailing single-handed around the world, west to east, via the five capes, using only celestial navigation, and all in seven months.

Landfall

At 0635 local (1535Z) 17 July the mountains bordering the west coast of Vancouver Island rose out of the fog that has been tracking us East. Landfall. In Canada.

Who would have believed it a year ago? I was barely able to dream it, let alone believe it.
