Charles is on his way home
22 April 2013
My crazy cousin Charles is on his way home. He's sailing his Contessa 26 back from the Canaries to New York - just a quick 3800 mile trip! Single-handed. Oh yes, he's 72 and doesn't much like sailing!
We had a bit of a scare - he did not check in with his Spot tracker for 9 days - he normally sends a post every 3 days. But today we got another bleep - so all is well. He's two thirds done - having started on March 26th...
Go for it Charles!
