A VOYAGE BEGINS—
A man and his mate sailed out of NY harbor Sunday in a home-made 70’ boat in an attempt to sail a 1,000 day expedition, circling the world. The boat is a two masted, gaff-rigged sailing schooner named “Anne” after the skipper’s mother.
They will not refuel, nor resupply, in fact, not pull into any port in the record setting attempt during which they will circumnavigate the globe four times in nearly three years of continuous sailing; virtually always out of sight of land.
You can join the pair on this historic voyage through the skipper’s blog at http://1000daysatsea.blogspot.com/.
More information on the attempt is available on the expedition’s web site at

Tune in for what sailing pros have described as one of history’s greatest tests of human endurance.
