This is a nice little blog about a couple out for a nice sail...around the world...THREE TIMES...without stopping...or seeing land. The lady on board has never before been at sea.
But the unfortunate part is that on Day 15 they managed to be hit by a tanker in the middle of the Atlantic. Bad enough, but the damage repair goes as follows:
From the Captain: "I was on watch in the pilothouse looking for lights of ships every 15 minutes to a half hour. I heard a loud bang and some scraping. When I opened the hatch, I saw the stern of a freighter passing by. We were not hit hard."
I'm no sailor, but sheesh! Good luck for the remaining 985 days!
