Dame Ellen MacArthur targeting new challenge!


Today I was pleased to see that Ellen MacArthur is already setting her sights on her next sailing challenge, just hours after completing her record-breaking round-the-world trip. So she's done it. Brave, brilliant, resourceful, resilient Ellen. Sailing's very own Truman Show has come to the happiest of endings.

Around the world, with only a webcam for company, a day and a half faster than previous record-holder Francis Joyon and a whole week better than Phileas Fogg's effort. The best part of 72 days and over 27,000 miles of sheer..hell! And to make it even better she actually beat a record set by the french!

I was also pleased to get a Make Poverty History banner working on my Blog site at last!
