A 40-Year Circumnavigation?

Tortuga, seen sailing here on San Francisco Bay, is a sistership to Bag End, which has completed half a circumnavigation.

"We’re now in the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean and have finally crossed the longitude line that means we’ve done at least half a circumnavigation," report Don and Nancy Chism of the Antioch-based Westsail 32 Bag End. "This is no great feat for most people, but it’s taken us 18.5 years to get here."

As you might expect, we’re very interested in more details on their trip/lifestyle, and are therefore currently in the process of trying to get more information from the couple.

Slow is good, so please, let’s not hear any snide remarks about the speed of Westsail 32s.
