Hi.
Does anyone have a reference to reports of the guy who was attempting to be
the oldest to sail solo around the world non-stop?
 He apparently lost his boat near South Africa , his dog drowned but he was
rescued. I heard it on the radio but have not been able to get more info.
There is an Australian trying to do the same thing but is only 70 yo. He
is Jack Christoffersen. I don't know if he has finished yet his web site
(http://www.xls.com.au/jackoatsea/around_the_world_alone_the_man_bio_01.htm)
does not say

Regards

Barry

If anybody do it this route, or a part of this, we will very happy
