 Traditionally,
circumnavigation implied going round the 'Horn'. These days, a lot of people use
the Panama Canal, saving time, staying warmer and avoiding the dangers inherent
in the traditional route. We consider that any route that takes you round the
world is a circumnavigation.
If
you are currently engaged in a circumnavigation, or have completed one,
we'd love to hear all about it. We'll be glad to publish details and stories here so that interested parties can follow your progress.
It may be a great help to other circumnavigators following in your wake to get
details of what awaits them up ahead.
In The Great Adventure
we catch up with an Australian couple who are five years into their
circumnavigation and have been writing excellent newsletters every few months,
which they have been kind enough to give us their permission to reproduce here.
Although this couple were strangers to us when we first read their letters, we
found ourselves thinking of them as family as we read their news. We have
reproduced their letters intact and we hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
In Spirits
Of The Millennium, another part of the Hello Sailor section, we try to keep
up with the crew on board one of four identical yachts racing round the world in the
Millennium Round The World Race! As they reach the end of the race we are
gratified to find we have picked the winning boat as the focus for our
attentions...
