Hi all. Thought some people here might be interested in following along with a pretty cool sailing journey. Jerome Rand, who was the Watersports Director at BEYC for many years, just left on solo, non-stop circumnavigation attempt on a Westsail 32 sailboat. He has already sailed around the world once non-stop via the three great capes, but this time he is attempting the Figure 8 Voyage! For those of you who do not know what the Figure 8 sail is, I attached a photo here.

And here is the link to his Facebook page where his Mom posts his daily updates via satellite communications. Facebook Group: Sailing Into Oblivion

Pretty crazy...
