Where were you when….


Who knows how history goes. As we know Ellen Macathur has set a new solo around the world record. She crossed the finish line off Ushant at 22:29:17 GMT on Monday 7 February 2005.

I’ll remember her finish for some time. For at 1834 eastern/2234 GMT I received a call from Michigan that Ellen had broken the record, while riding in a taxi in Jamaica.

Memories and good times, indeed.
